Elīna Garanča's new album "When Night Falls..." will be released just in time for World Sleep Day on March 15, 2024 and conveys a feeling for “that time of day when you withdraw from the world, come home, close the door and focus exclusively on your own life, in a safe environment." Accordingly, it is a very personal album, with Garanča highlighting her homeland for the first time in her discography to date. "My Latvian identity simply had to be part of such an intimate, personal programme," says the artist. Latvian composers such as Raimonds Pauls, Alfrēds Kalniņš and Jānis Zālīts can be heard on this album.
The program ranges from large-scale orchestral works to chamber music pieces and songs performed by soloists. The mezzo-soprano is accompanied by renowned colleagues and ensembles, including Albrecht Mayer, Raphaël Feuillâtre, Malcolm Martineau and the Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria.
