PEETER VÄHI
Discography

13 solo albums and over 90 co-productions with other composers and/or performers.

Repertoirewert: 5/5. Zur Abwechslung also eine völlig geräuschlose CD, als Erholung für alle lärmgeplagten Zeitgenossen − und höchste Herausforderung für die Rezensentin? (Klassik Magazine, 28.06.03, Germany)

This new album may be the best one yet from Erdenklang’s Cross Culture collection. /…/ Impossible to bring this all together? Not under Vähi’s intelligent and erudite leadership. /…/ Completely lovely, mystifying and inquisitive Vähi’s work is not highly recommended, but necessary listening to both exploratory minds and radio-polluted pop music pundits. Maybe some things will change. (Winter, 1992, USA)

… SA-CD is very clearly recorded, being originated in DXD and mastered in DSD. … real pleasure to hear such a novel and deeply satisfying creation from Vähi… Highly recommended for a novel experience. (SA-CD.net, 15.12.12, Australia)
