Solo piano works of Jānis Mediņš on new album

Latvian composer Jānis Mediņš, who would have celebrated his 135th birthday in 2025, left a lasting legacy in Latvian classical music. Besides being the composer of the first Latvian opera and the first Latvian ballet, his contributions to the field of piano music created an enduring foundation for all Latvian music.

Recognizing and celebrating Mediņš’ contributions, Latvian pianist Reinis Zariņš recorded an album of the composer’s piano works.
