His new album, “Estonia,” released September 1, 2023. Richard says, “I feel a certain kinship to this region of the world and also to the culture of its people. I’m not sure if it’s ancient memories from my Germanic descendancy or just fantasies but I feel that I’ve spent time deep within those magical Nordic forests of Estonia.”
