Correct. I have it and even played it. 8) It´s a live performace from the Estonia Concert Hall in Tallin, 16 August 1997, by the Estonians SO, three choirs and soloists under Neeme Jarvi.
I do not think I have heard anything by Kapp. What is his music like, please?

Oh, I think he reminds us of Jāzeps Vītols most. 8)

Quite right, Eric :)
