+ + In late 1997, the boys' choir of the Jāzeps Mediņš Music School recorded a CD "Dextera Domini" in the historic St. John's Church of Saldus, one of the oldest churches in Kurzeme. The parish dates back to 1461, while the church building is from 1737. The recording features a 125-year-old organ, now restored, which showcases the best qualities of late German Romantic instruments with a distinct Baltic flair: rich and vibrant principal group, colorful and expressive string stops, and delicate yet bold-sounding flute stops. The organ was played in the last century by composer and organ expert Oskars Šepskis, and on the recording by Daniels Pavluts. The album features sacred works by European composers such as Reinberger, Bruckner, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Diestler, Rater, as well as Negro spirituals and secular music by Latvian composers including Jāz.Vītols, S.Mence, M.Zariņš, H.Pavasars, and R.Skulte.
