“NOT QUITE BARAQUE” as One of the Most Exquisite Christmas Gifts of 2026
At a time when almost everything seems available to buy, a gift with meaning becomes truly exceptional. The debut album “NOT QUITE BARAQUE” by classical music composer Jēkabs Tutiņš, presented as a limited edition vinyl release, is created and crafted in Latvia as a collectible work of art where monumental classical music meets exquisite materials, craftsmanship and an enduring message.
Choosing a Christmas gift for someone who seemingly already has everything is becoming increasingly difficult. This is precisely why objects created to transcend a single moment hold a different kind of value. Objects with a story, character and a lasting place in someone’s life.
“NOT QUITE BARAQUE” is the debut album by classical music composer Jēkabs Tutiņš, built around the idea “To Each, Their Own Empire.” It is a story of ambition, discipline, self respect and the courage to shape one’s life according to one’s own principles.
The limited edition vinyl release is entirely created in Latvia, with meticulous attention devoted not only to the music, but to every detail of its physical form. The presentation is adorned with red and black velvet sourced from Australia, gold embossed patterns and refined finishing details, while the vinyl itself features a distinctive marble texture, turning each copy into a visually striking object.
Here, music and design are inseparable. From the first note to the final gold embossed letter, everything follows a single principle: excellence without compromise.
It is a collectible piece for those who appreciate classical music, refinement and objects of enduring character.
TO EACH THEIR OWN EMPIRE.
