TWO WORLDS
American record label Prima Classic has released Andrejs Osokins' new album “Two Worlds”, dedicated to two outstanding composers – George Gershwin and Claude Debussy. It depicts both composers as creators of a new style piano music and the beginning of the 20th century as a time of pursuit and experimentation in music.
The layout of all 24 tracks on the album was purposefully and conceptually curated. The album demonstrates the search for musical means of expression by both composers while vividly revealing the mood that prevailed in Europe and the US in the early 20th century.
Even before the album was released three singles that were released – were included in prominent classical music playlists on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.
Album "Two Worlds" was nominated by prestigious Opus Klassik in four categories.

I BĒRZS, I SMILGAS
The aforementioned influence from folk art of the diatonic, the vitality and the harmonious sense of the world does not mean that Melngailis’ solo songs are devoid of reflective, wistful or restless moods - Pirmais marts (The First of March), Uz rīta pusi (Towards Morning) , Man mirdzēja zvaigzne (A Star Shone for Me).
A lighter emotional undercurrent appears not only in songs about the perception of nature, where it does dominate; according to Ieva Parša, the soloist on this album, as well as Andrejs Osokins, her partner at the piano, a lightness remains perceptible in all of Melngailis’ songs, even those exhibiting a certain resignation. And both musicians realise this idea with conviction and nuance.
STARDIVING
For the first time on record, Andrejs Osokins improvises at the piano in our recording
studio. The result of this one-of-a-kind event is a heartfelt collection of pieces of
surprising depth and bucolic meditative quality. Based on the themes of childhood and
the passing of time as represented by the seasons of the year, Andrejs shares with us
some of his most tender musical memories, embellished and looked at from the maturity
of his exceptional artistry.
The album "Stardiving" was nominated for the annual Latvian music recording award "The Golden Microphone/ Zelta Mikrofons" in the category "Instrumental or Cross-Genre Music Album of the Year".
