The new album “Oceanic” by Iveta Apkalna is a collection of two expansive organ works and two orchestral interludes with maritime connotations, showcasing Apkalna’s special relationship with the sea as a musician who grew up on the Baltic. The album features Bernd Richard Deutsch’s “Okeanos,” which Iveta Apkalna describes as the best contemporary organ concerto. It also includes Maurice Ravel’s “Une barque sur l’océan,” a key work of musical Impressionism, and Jean Sibelius’s “The Oceanides,” a personal “Rondo of the Waves” along similar lines to Debussy’s “La mer.”
