Mirror is the first ECM New Series album from Estonian composer Tonu Korvitz (born 1969), who emphasizes his links to his homelands music at several levels. The album begins with a fantasy on a song by Veljo Tormis. Like the older composer, Korvitz has been influenced by folk song and archaic musical tradition, which find their echo in the refined and texturally-rich spectrum of his own, labyrinthine pieces. His music is well served here by the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under Tonu Kaljustes assured direction and by soloist Anja Lechner. Lechners cello is foregrounded in Peegeldused Tasaset Maast (2013), Laul (2012, rev. 2013) and the albums largest piece Seitsme Linnu Seitse Und (2009, rev. 2012), a collaboration with the poet Maarja Kangro, which is both choral suite and cello concerto. In these seven dreams of seven birds the choir sings in Estonian and English and the cello conjures both birdsong and swooping flight. Tasase Maa Laul (Plainland Song), a fresh arrangement of a Tormis melody has Kadri Voorand as vocal soloist, supported by strings and by Tonu Korvitz on kannel, the Estonian psaltery.

With Estonia's Arvo Pärt ascending to the status of elder statesman of Baltic minimalism, several composers have been jockeying for position (if one is permitted to use such a term in such essentially spiritual surroundings) to supplant him. Among them is Tõnu Kõrvits, a student not of Pärt, but of a lesser-known figure in the Estonian choral tradition, Veljo Tormis. As such, Kõrvits writes music that seems to hang between minimalism and an earlier world of compact, tonal choral music. The two large works here, the string orchestra Labyrinths and Seven Dreams of Seven Birds, for the unusual combination of cello, choir, and orchestra, are not vast minimalist landscapes, but consist of short movements that introduce a few ideas, and in the case of the Labyrinths, circle back to where they started. The role of Anja Lechner's cello, not exactly in dialogue with its companions, but walking beside them and offering commentary, is unique, and it's the Seven Dreams that you might sample for the flavor of the whole at its best. Also unusual is the Plainland Song (track 9), featuring the kannel, an Estonian zither played by the composer himself. As usual with the minimalists, the physical space of the performance is an important part of the whole, and the Tallinn Methodist Church, a venue with considerable emotional resonance for Estonians (the fine booklet notes by Paul Griffiths go into more detail), is splendidly captured by Kõrvits, Manfred Eicher, and the rest of the ECM engineering team. Recommended for those interested in new developments in the successful Baltic scene.
