THE NIGHT PRAYER

Latvian Radio Choir

COSMOS vocal group

Sigvards Kļava, conductor

The extraordinary interpretation of the sacred music in the twilight…

This is probably one of the finest choirs in the world today and I was able to experience at first hand the extraordinary beauty of its choral sound, the precision of its ensemble, the perfection of its intonation, the subtlety of its phrasing, as well as the striking individuality of its soloists.

Gavin Bryars, composer, on the Latvian Radio choir

Six guys with voices that make any synthesizer so embarrassed that it usually explodes. I know there are a cappella groups all around the world. However, what COSMOS does is something beyond singing and even beyond music. I saw their concert just before Christmas and the public went completely crazy. I happened to be on Madonna’s concert in London, and I have to admit that I was less impressed.
