LRK's artistic director Sigvards Klava recalls a following encounter: \"Abols brought over a bucket filled with sheets of music, and it took him a week of sorting them all out to put the opera score in the correct order. Sometimes he wasn't even sure which direction to hold the paper in order to read the music. I mean, truly splendid! We did the recording in the summer of 2010 in the basement of my house. Abols basically lived with us for that whole time and was present at almost all of the recording sessions. The singers arrived alone, or sometimes in pairs, and he tried to explain to each one the type of character they were to portray. We spent about a month and a half on the project. He also played his soprano saxophone; that was his vaunted psychodelia (and no, he didn't say 'psychedelia', as would be correct). When it came to jazz licks, he liked to play the walking bass, because it's impossible to mess up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Hic Est \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ir Dzive Kustiba \/ Life Is Movement \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Ja Nu Jums Patiesi Bailes \/ In Case You’re Really Afraid \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Taidas Monologs Un Arija \/ Thaïs’ Monologue And Aria \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Marciala Padoms, Zevam Leda Deva Par Velti \/ Martial’s Advice, Leda Gave It Up To Zeus For Nothing \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Hoetiskais Tango \/ Hoetic Tango \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Pakalpuses Aplukosanas Dziesma \/ The Song About Looking At One’s Bottom \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Oda Arija \/ The Mosquito’s Aria \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Zevs Varenais \/ Mighty Zeus \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Vina Dziesma \/ The Wine Song \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Marcials Apjauta \/ Martial Enquires \u003cbr\u003e1.12 K-Suns Vadmotivs \/ Leitmotif \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Vingrosanas Skolotajs \/ Gym Teacher \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Demostrata Monologs \/ Demostratus’ Monologue \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Marciala Monologs I \/ Martial’s Monologue I \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Ko Lielies \/ What Are You Boasting About \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Marciala Monologs II \/ Martial’s Monologue II \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Mizanscena \/ Mise-en-scène \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Cukas Arija \/ The Pig’s Aria \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Netiras Naudas Atmazgasana \/ Laundering Of Dirty Money \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Cinisanas Uz Dzivibu Un Navi \/ Fighting For Life Or Death \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Marciala Recitativs, Fanfaras \/ Martial’s Recitative, Fanfares \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Falliskais Rituals \/ Phallic Ritual \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Korifejs, Muza \/ Coryphaeus, Muse \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Marciala Monologs III \/ Martial’s Monologue III \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Tu, Lielais Gudriniek! \/ You Big Know-It-All! \u003cbr\u003e1.27 Finals \/ Finale\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Abols, Juris \/ Klava, Sigvards \/ Latvian Radio Choir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39661196869703,"sku":"42680451","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4095781-2832135.jpg?v=1711765301","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/abols-juris-klava-sigvards-latvian-radio-choir-juris-abols-xeniae","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
