Description
Gratitude is a musical journey that brings together the artistry of saxophonist Oskars Petrauskis and the poetic voice of composer Ēriks Ešenvalds. This album celebrates a long-standing collaboration, where the saxophone becomes both storyteller and seeker — an instrument that bridges the sacred and the human, the intimate and the vast.
The works featured here weave together reflections on nature, faith, and myth, creating soundscapes that move from the stillness of prayer to the elemental power of the sea. At its heart, Gratitude is about connection — between composer and performer, performer and listener, and the spiritual dimensions that music can reveal.
