The end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Bloc has opened a floodgate of communication with the nations of Eastern Europe, allowing access to their long sequestered heritage of music and culture. This collection ranges from ethereal church chorales to earthy peasant dances to modern fusions with Western rock, pop and jazz. The instrumentation includes fiddles and accordions, brass bands and bagpipes, cimbaloms and utogaardons, jew's-harps and hurdy-gurdies, with vocals that range from the sensual to the sublime. Accompanying ''Unblocked's'' three CDs are essays on Eastern Europe's tangled web of languages, tribes and religions, as well as photos and extensive track notes. ''Unblocked documents diversity and the survival of local forms against the pressures of homoginazation and globalization.'' [NY Times].

Olli Kortekangas (b. 1955) spent some time looking for a suitable chorale or theme after receiving a commission from Tomi Satomaa to compose a variation work for organ. It was foundsurprisingly close at hand, on his very own desk: The Partita is based on a chorale melody Kortekangas composed some years ago. The Partita has six movements performed without a break. The first presents the chorale melody itself, and the other five could be described as character pieces each based on some part of it or characteristic. The work was premiered at the Turku Organ Festival in July 2019.

De eerste indruk is vaak bepalend voor het succes van een ontmoeting en het verdere contact. Vaak wordt bij de kennismaking een visitekaartje aangeboden. Van Toeten & Blazen een introductie van het fanfareorkest is zo’n visitekaartje: een muzikaal verhaal dat luisteraars enthousiast maakt voor dit prachtige fenomeen van de Lage Landen. Met dit werk van Jan de Haan, gecomponeerd op een tekst van Andries de Haan, wordt het fanfareorkest op een sfeervolle manier in de schijnwerpers gezet. Het is een uitstekende optie voor een jaarlijks concert of een festival, maar het kan ook worden gebruikt voor een presentatie op scholen of bij andere gelegenheden: Van Toeten &Blazen is daarmee een multifunctionele compositie. De instrumenten worden op speelse en attractieve wijze door een verteller ge ntroduceerd. De tekst kan naar eigen inzicht aan bijzondere situaties worden aangepast. Bij het slagwerk kan het voorkomen dat bepaalde instrumenten niet aanwezig zijn: in dat geval kunnen er eenvoudig passages worden weggelaten.
