Many of these works demonstrate Tormis’ very clever use of ostinatos and other repetitive devices–for instance the hypnotic effect in the lullaby “Wee winkie mouse” or the scurrying then rolling rush of clouds in “Clouds are racing” and the lilting, dancing “Daughters of the Meadow Matron” as they “go swaying merrily and playing…on blades of bent grass.” (David Vernier, 2008-05-13)

The performers meet the quiet challenges of Tormis' music with flexibility and aplomb. This is a fine, fine disc of somewhat neglected choral treasures.(Stephen Graham, 2008-03-27)

On Tormis page: Along with Arvo Pärt, Veljo Tormis is Estonia’s most famous living composer, holding an almost mystic status in his home country. He is also the passionate and practical torch-bearer for folk-singing revival, and the integration of an ancient cultural inheritance into thoroughly modern, post-Soviet lives. (Stephen Layton)

The folk-steeped a cappella choral music of Estonian Veljo Tormis (born 1930) is unlikely to set the world ablaze; but this generous selection from the Holst Singers provides consistently pleasurable listening and proves that there is more to this richly inventive music that merely esoteric agreeableness. (Graham Rogers, June 2008)
Classical SourceHyperion Records Homepage | Tormis: Choral Music
Tormis’s choral specialism marks him out from Bartók, Kodály, Vaughan Williams and Grainger, whose pioneering interest in folksong was ultimately less purist given their use of the tunes alone in instrumental or orchestral works: for Tormis, the words and the music are inseparable.
