http://www.latvijasradio.lv has archives of classical music broadcasts. One can search them in Google by spelling out a composer's name in Latvian and the URL, thus:

I'd like to look for past broadcasts featuring music by some of my favorite lesser-known composers (or, if someone knows of a Russian to Latvian transliteration chart, please advise me), Galynin, Taktakishivli, and Balasanyan.
In Russian: Галынин, Тактакишвили, Баласанян. ▲ Collapse

Transliteration chart will not help you, Latvian is a notoriously difficult language.
These are the Latvian names: Galiņins, Taktakišvili, Balasanjans

I think I've got it worked out now.
It seems that you have to add an "s" to some names
but others you add an "a" to (Prokofjeva).
Maybe I should look up my friend from high school
(40+ years ago), Janis Starcs, and ask him how
to spell all these names!

It is mostly adding the -s, but of course, it depends...
As regards Prokofjeva, it should be Prokofjevs, while Prokofjeva means Prokofjev's (symphony, for example)

Ah, that explains all the hits such as www.latvijasradio.lv/program/2004-09/20040903_3.htm
on Prokofjeva! It's possessive!
Thanks,
Gary

all masculine names in Latvian end with "s", while feminine with "a" or "e". There are exceptions, of course (e;.g., on those names ending with "o").
If you see a masculine name in Latvian ending in anything other than "s", more likely than not is some case ending.
