Beethoven's 'Violin Concerto' is so familiar to us today that it is hard to imagine how confusing it was to the first listeners because of its novelty. 'Distant Light', the first of the two 'Violin Concertos' by Peteris Vasks, the work - which pits human madness against the eternal glitter of distant stars - seduces at first glance, effortlessly charms the ear and has established itself as a classic of our time.
