On the composer
"Raimo Kangro's personal style is founded on the neoclassical basis -- it stayed relatively constant throughout his whole creative period. The main characteristic of his idiom is an active, changeable, often syncopated rhythm. Melody is angular and development is based on variation or fluid and improvisation-like. Active rhythmic pulse is a unifier for stylistic borrowings from pop, rock, ancient European styles and Estonian folk music. Polyrhythmics and heterophonic orchestral textures in bright timbre colors introduce tension into the music. Instrumental works and operas are central in Kangro's oeuvre."

"Rich musical imagery opens in Kangro's 12-part series of instrumental works commissioned by various performers and festivals from 1991 to 2000, titled as Displays -- poetic and humorous musical portraits of historic personages and mythical beings, creatures or phenomena."
