'Known as "the First Lady of Estonian music", Tallinn born 85-year-old
Ester Maegi studied first with Mart Saar, folk song collector and
founder of the national school of Estonian music, inheriting her
mentor's enthusiasm for folk music. After graduating in Tallinn she
continued her studies at the Moscow Conservatoire where, in the early
1950s, she developed an independent folk style whilst trying to steer
a careful route around politically acceptable models, Shostakovich
being, as she willingly accepted, the best.'
- Patric Standford, writing in today's Music & Vision Magazine
