Sergejs Jēgers Ave Maria (translācija)
The warm and welcoming voice of counter tenor Sergejs Jēgers intertwines with the sound of Riga Cathal organ reeds played by Diāna Jaunzeme-Portnaja, and the arches of the cathedral resound with the masterfully crafted vibrations of Agnese Kanniņa’s violin and Jānis Stafeckis’s double bass. The beloved singer has already made it a tradition during Christmas time to gather trusted comrades and invite listeners to witness music that is full of light, faith, hope, and love. Almost like a leading motif of the programme are interpretations of Ave Maria, made by composers of different times and nationalities. And alongside these music-claden prayers to the Mother of God - baroque arias and instrumental opuses, Christmas carols, and traditional melodies.
