The name of the composer Lūcija Garūta is mainly associated with the cantata Dievs, Tava zeme deg (1943, text by Andrejs Eglītis), but many pearls of vocal and instrumental chamber music created by the composer have not yet been discovered by a wider audience. The number of Garūta’s solo songs exceeds 200, while several valuable and historically significant works were created in the genre of instrumental chamber music, including the unique Four Etudes for Steinway long-tone pedal (1933/1956) in Latvian and world music. The chamber miniatures included in this volume have been recorded by Baiba Berķe (mezzo-soprano), Dzintra Erliha (piano), Ilona Meija (flute), Tatjana Ostrovska (violin), Ivars Bezprozvanovs (cello), Aivars Krancmanis (baritone), Krišjānis Norvelis (bass) and Ingus Pētersons ( tenor).
