My father, Uldis Cepure, was a Lutheran minister, who served both American and Latvian congregations. Shortly before his death, he asked me to record a collection of his classical favorites. I dedicate this to him. Unfortunately, I do not have the funding at this time to produce recording quality worthy of such great works, and this is simply a dedication to Papa.
Love, above all. I believe music is the language of love. Composers like Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Debussy, Massenet, Bizet, Puccini, Verdi, Tschaicovsky, Chopin, and Ravel have been awesomely inspiring maestros of music. I really love too many composers and artists to list them all.
My favorites are the grand pianos at Smokey Valley and Presser Hall, but my own is a respectable Kohler and Campbell studio piano, that I love, in spite of the fact that it is not a grand.
