Famous Estonian Pop Songs Revived by Modern Artists in Estonian and in English VIDEO
24 Nov 2016 EWR Online
Behind the idea of the project is the question why didn’t famous (evergreen) Estonian pop songs, written in years 1945-1980, reach the best world artists, though the songs had such potential. The answer is simple – the „red curtain“ created by the Soviet regime excluded such possibility at that time.
Today we have completed an unprecedented project in Estonian music that brings our best songs into focus of attention again – in the best quality of modern Europe. As it is, an international jury (music professionals from Estonia, USA, Germany and Finland) choose the best songs from 100 Estonian songs from that period, and these were newly recorded in order to give our evergreen songs a fresh sound by top performers – Lutz Krajenski Big Band headed by a world top arranger and big band specialist from Germany, Lutz Krajenski.
The work took 2 years and involved about 100 people. The whole process was recorded by a team of Estonian Television (led by Jaak Kilmi) and based on that material an 8-part documentary series shall be made, to be broadcasted in ETV channel in January 2017. A condensed version of the documentary shall be distributed all over the world.
Singers The soloists are Maarja, Liisi Koikson, Elina Hokkanen, Sofia Rubina, Susanna Aleksandra, Kaire Vilgats, Laura, Koit Toome, Karl-Erik Taukar, Uku Suviste, Ott Lepland.
