“In New York, Carniege Hall, we even had to repeat concerto for chamber orchestra op.16 on the demand of the audience.”
Rudolf Baršai, 1964
To Jaan Rääts from Dmitri Schostakovich
Dear Jaan! Your talent has always in my attention
Aram Kchataturian
““Marvellous ! I hope a CD-Box with all symphonies written by Jaan Rääts. My favourite is the seventh, unfortunatly unavailable on youtube (I have it on Melodiya LP). In my humble view, he’s the best estonian modern composer !””
