Kirjad koju - trailer
‘Letters to home’ or ‘Kirjad Koju’ is a program based on the stories of people in wartime. Memories of refugees, letters to home of young men in the trenches and people taken into captivity are powerful and emotional documents which are worth remembering, especially in the current times. The music of composers like Mahler, Eisler, Butterworth, Somervell, Gurney, Warlock and Poulenc describes and links the stories together.
Kirjad Koju is a collaboration with the brilliant Estonian pianist Johan Randvere and the mesmerizing Estonian actor Risto Vaidla.
