mainThe Estonian Composers Union has announced the death, on Christmas Day, of Jaan Rääts, a prolific and influential artist best known for his numerous film scores.
He also wrote eight symphonies, 18 concertos, a ballet and much chamber music (not much else to do in Estonia in Soviet times).
His students include Erkki-Sven Tüür, Rauno Remme, Tõnu Kõrvits and Tõnis Kaumann.
