He studied in Paris under Messiaen and Tony Aubin. After winning several prizes as a composer, he immigrated to Canada in 1951, where he devoted himself to the development of music in this country as an educator. Perhaps because he believed as a young man that chamber music was the highest form of art, Keninsh did not turn his hand to symphonic composition until 1959. However, in the 1970s and '80s, he produced a series of symphonies, and is now recognized as \"Latvia's leading symphonic composer. This album contains his 5th and 8th symphonies, both premiered in London. The Fifth Symphony, which opens with a short first movement that mixes the modern world with the magical world of fairy tales, is woven with traditional melodies from Keninsh's homeland. The Eighth Symphony, Keninsh's last symphony, premiered in 1986, is a symphony with organ, reminiscent of Poulenc's \"Organ Concerto. It is a work that beautifully combines complex rhythms with the brilliant sounds of the organ. The album ends with the \"Aria for Strings,\" based on a string quintet, performed by a rich-sounding string ensemble. The skillful organ in Symphony No. 8 is played by Latvian organist Iveta Apkarna, who is the pride of Latvia.A cultural ambassador for Latvia, she is currently active internationally as the organist of the Erb Philharmonie in Hamburg, Germany.
