A CD with songs by the Estonian artist, choir conductor, and composer Erki Meister. Recorded by Kaur Faltis in a live concert at Von Krahl theatre, Tallinn, in 2004. I remember that this was my first full album recording and we had to do it twice. The first attempt as a live concert happened in Nukuteater, but one of the sound cards failed, and half of the tracks were gone. It was a great concert, though! However, we had to do it again. I made my own arrangements and still think that these are great songs that deserve another take some time.
