Gavina Braiersa mūzika un Latvijas Radio Kora īpašie dotumi sader viens ar roku kā roka ar cimdu. (..) Spožs CD, brīnišķīgi iedziedāts un ierakstīts no pirmās līdz pēdējai notij.

Operācija „Orfejs” nepakļaujas racionālai analīzei, tas ir metafizisks piedzīvojums, ceļojums gara pasaulē. Radio kora grupa šajā instrumentācijā pilda gan kora, gan orķestra funkciju, pārvēršot izrādi par cilvēka balss kā emocionāli visspēcīgākā instrumenta manifestu. Radio kora profesionalitāte un skaņveides precizitāte izrādē, kurā tiek izmantota apskaņošana, ir patiešām apskaužama, jo netrūkst ne individuālo tembrālo krāsu, ne groda un sabalansēta kopējā skanējuma. Šķiet, visi koristi darbojas ķēdes elpā, precīzi klājot savu triepienu īstajā vietā un laikā.

(..) Šīs mūzikas skaistums ir neapstrīdams. Atsevišķi kritiķi viņa stilu uzskata par pārāk vienkāršu, neo – romantisku un sentimentālu. (..) bet pat viņiem jāatzīst šeit dzirdamais pirmšķirīgais atskaņojums: tīrs, perfekti samērots, lieliski sabalansēts un krāšņi strukturizēts ar atbilstošu emocionālo intensitāti.

Pēteris Vasks (dz.1946) Latvijai ir muzikālā sirdsapziņa gluži kā Arvo Perts Igaunijai. Viņa Pater Noster rada klusu, mierinošu gaisotni. Kyrie piemīt moderns harmoniskais giezums, Gloria daļai klusa kvēle, kamēr priekpilnais Sanctus ienes kontrastu. Benedictus un Agnus Dei nodrošina mistisku finālu, kam Latvijas Radio koris un Sinfonietta Rīga Sigvarda Kļavas vadībā pievieno savu īpašo noslēpumainību.  lasīt vairāk...

In the concert's first half, the Choir, conducted by Kaspars Putnins, demonstrated its versatility in a cappella works by contemporary composers. Firm discipline has formed this choir into one responsive organism, demonstrating a subtle and powerful virtuosity. Two pieces by Knut Nystedt and Sven-David Sandström - inspired by Bach and Purcell respectively - opened up spacious vistas as the audience held its breath in awe. Hopefully, the Latvian Radio Choir will join CoCo again. And again. lasīt vairāk...

Though it has been in use for some 900 years, it is probably safe to say that Ewenny Priory has never heard a finer choir than the magnificent Latvian Radio Choir. The choir boasts (though their unassuming manner is a million miles away from any such action) a beautiful ensemble sound, perfect intonation, immense flexibility, outstanding clarity, tremendous commitment, thrilling sopranos, rich altos, powerful male voices, superb soloists . and just about every other virtue you could look for. Their performance was quite remarkable and it is hard to envisage any of this music being performed with greater precision, commitment, control and feeling.

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.

….the eight members of Kaspars Putnins's Latvian Radio Chamber Singers are given plenty of chances to display their stunningly pure vocal qualities as they drift round the stage like characters sleepwalking through their own fractured memories. lasīt vairāk...

Viens no diviem Latvijas profesionālajiem koriem. Francijā pazīstams, galvenokārt pateicoties regulārai ikgadējai dalībai Francijas Radio festivālā Monpeljē, kura ietvaros Latvijas Radio koris bieži dzied papildinātā sastāvā un piedalās operu vai oratoriju atskaņojumos. lasīt vairāk...

The sound of the world’s symphony orchestras may well be losing national identity as a handful of fashionable conductors, unsure of which country thay are in, make them all sound the same. But the great choirs of the world maintain a strong national identity, and the Latvian visitors to the Huddersfield festival must be numbered among them ... The ovation demanded a return visit.

... some words of high appraisal for the Radio Choir from Riga (Latvia). 80 artists, mainly very young ones, who managed equally well to convey both the mourning of the oppressed people and the hymns of triumph or the divine invocation, gave us a possibility to live moments full of beauty and emotion.

... The small ensemble produced a full sound without being heavy or pompous. It was produced with a marvelously light touch, gloriously radiant sopranos, forceful male voices, and extreme clarity in the intricate textures of Carpantier’s Te Deum and Bach cantatas ...

... And remember the Latvian Radio Choir, a flexible ensemble from the aspect of dynamic range, very accurate in intonation and equipped with bright soprano voices. The audience’s enthusiastic applause were replied by an encore of the choral “Gloria” from Bach Cantata 140.

“So much so that, just four years ago, the Latvian Radio Choir set up a Festival of New Latvian Choral Music. In their first visit to the UK, with their two conductors Sigvards Klava and Kaspars Putnins, theyshared some of its first fruits with an enthusiastic audience at the Covent Garden Festival ... lasīt vairāk...

... On Sunday afternoon the voices of 8 young singers who make up a Vocal Ensemble invaded the St. Michel Chapel of Grandmont. In this magnificent place where one feels the presence of the history everywhere, the Latvian singers' performance comprised opuses from the XVI century (Thomas Luis de Victoria) to the XX century (Messiaen and Latvian composers unknown in France but whose music is marvellous and represents a different culture and a different approach to the world. lasīt vairāk...

Excerpt from interview with A. Pärt ... What are your latest connotations of Latvian musical life ? I am delighted of your magnificent Radio Choir that performed a programme of my works at an inauguration concert of Cathedral of Evry, France. I liked the interpretation as well as their work during the rehearsal.

Each time it happens that after the concert a journalist who has to write about music suppose that his job is absolutely useless. The same has happened with me after in Montpellier when I have left the St. Peter Cathedral after the concert of ecclesiastic music of Latvian Radio Chorus. The performance has been beautiful. lasīt vairāk...
