Background: The 'Happy Birthday' Variations are a favourite encore at Kremerata Baltica concerts, as are the other works on this disc. If the encore can be considered like a dessert course, this CD is like a cart full of musical confections. A spirit of impulsiveness and improvisation, of good-natured parody characterises the whole undertaking.
