		Made up of young professionals from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, Kremerata Baltica is a northern equivalent of the central European Mahler Chamber Orchestra, though there are crucial differences between the two bands.
		The Kremerata's performances sometimes suggest that it is much more of an orchestral finishing school than the real thing, and crucially it still lacks its own, separate identity, remaining very much an orchestra in Kremer's image.
		There is something about the Kremerata's full-blooded playing, though, that suits early Shostakovich, and the two Octet pieces (all that the young composer completed of a projected four-movement work) were thrillingly vivid.

		The incomparable Gidon Kremer and the Kremerata Baltica magnificently portrayed the morbidity of the piece in the phantasmagoric start of the second section.
		The cellist had her finest moment towards the end of the second section, in which she heroically took up the theme, rescuing it from the morbid musing of the viola with a perfect sense of proportion and a dynamism.
		The fermatas were perfectly gauged, the tensions were precisely balanced, and the intense psychological drama of the work (that can very easily be ruined with an excessively emotional or dramatically overwrought reading) was quintessentially preserved.

		The chamber orchestra KREMERATA BALTICA was formed by Gidon Kremer in 1997 as a “present to himself on his 50th birthday”.
		Following his birthday celebrations, it was Kremer’s wish to keep the Kremerata and to serve as its artistic director and soloist.
		The Kremerata has developed its own very personal style by combining instrumental mastery with an unusual repertoire strategy, playing rarely performed works and modern music and devoting its attentions by preference to composers from eastern Europe.

		Gidon Kremer's KREMERATA BALTICA project looked like a passing fancy when he founded it in 1997.
		Kremer's presence was as strong as if he were wielding the baton — this was clearly one man's interpretation of the work, faithfully realized by the young musicians.
		Seen in this light, it is evident that KREMERATA BALTICA is not a chamber-music group in the conventional sense.

		The well-known chamber orchestra Kremerata Baltica led by Gidon Kremer is not altogether indifferent to Lithuanian music.
		Kremerata Baltica often divides into smaller groups - trios, quartets, quintets and sextets.
		Lithuanian music is often heard in the Lockenhaus castle: in 1999, the string quartet Kremerata Baltica played here Algirdas Martinaitis' Death and the Maiden, Mindaugas Urbaitis' Bach-Variationen and M.K.Ciurlionis' Fugue in F sharp minor.

		Gidon Kremer's Cinema CD is exhilarating and enjoyable, but there is far more to a live performance by KREMERata Baltica, the superb string ensemble with the daft name.
		The programme, which seems to be constantly evolving for this tour, homes in precisely on the wonder of what happens when musicians and audience together experience music.
		After a couple of mainstream (by tonight's standards) encores, the ensemble played themselves off again to Nino Rota, a bemused viola playing bringing up the rear and leaving an ecstatic audience cheering.

		It opens with a new work, inspired by a Schubert masterpiece and written specifically for the Kremerata Baltica.
		In an age in which programing too often grows routine, here is a concert on which every work will in some different way be completely new.
		Work on "Like the Old Organ Grinder..." was a real grind: the mere thought of celebrating the 200th anniversary of Schubert's birth with the "whole of progressive humanity" was a form of exquisite torment for me, as Schubert's music is the most perfect expression of gemutlichkeit.

		The young Kremerata Baltica won fans with the adaptations on their Eight Seasons CD, which combines the nuevo tango of Astor Piazzolla with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
		On their second recording, master Latvian violinist Gidon Kremer’s evocative technique shapes the ensemble’s spirited grace on a selection of meditative 20th-century works, as they apply traditional stylings to modern motifs.
		For Philip Glass’s Company, which was recorded as String Quartet #2 by the Kronos Quartet in 1986, Kremer adapts a more deliberate pace, and the Kremerata’s exacting performance bathes the original in lush textures.

	News: New Piazzolla/Vivaldi CD: The Eight Seasons by Gidon Kremer and Kremerata Baltica
		In the Eight Seasons we view the Vivaldi piece through a different lens, with a new context revealing its more daring "modern" aspects, and we hear Piazzolla in a way that underscores his classicism.
		The vigorous and fresh performance of the Kremerata Baltica - newly signed to Nonesuch in an exclusive six-record deal -- gives the Vivaldi work a new vitality without compromising its essence, while introducing audiences to Piazzolla's striking, lesser-known, and eminently worthy 20th century composition.
		Kremerata Baltica will perform the Eight Seasons in major European cities in May 2000, including Paris, Munich and Vienna.

		The latest is this celebration of music by Kremerata Baltica, founded by the Riga-born violinist Gidon Kremer to give opportunities to musicians from the Baltic republics.
		And in the enlarged version of Shostakovich’s Two Pieces for String Octet, not everything he did from the leader’s seat accorded with the softer grain of his ensemble.
		Thereafter it was chamber music all the way, as much in Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola as the Shostakovich/Barshai Chamber Symphony Op 118a – the latter demonstrating that, even without Kremer, Kremerata Baltica is capable of just as much intensity as if he were physically there.

		Violinist Gidon Kremer and his ensemble, Kremerata Baltica, have tackled repertoire that ranges from Baroque to contemporary, but they seem to shine on the newer stuff.
		And Gidon Kremer, with his string ensemble the Kremerata Baltica, reflects this aesthetic change in his new CD Silencio.
		Even the fabulous performance by the Kremerata Baltica, surely one of the finest string orchestras around, cannot raise my interest in a piece (written as incidental music to a Beckett play) which simply rehashes the same Glass harmonic and rhythmic formulas he has been working on for 40 years now.
