Čiurlionis - Gražinis: Back To Nature (LP)

Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis was a visionary Lithuanian composer, painter and poet. In his extraordinary work, music, nature and mythology merge into a unique artistic vision. This album celebrates his 150th birthday with symphonic poems and piano works. With the Lithuanian star conductor Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, her sister, the pianist Onutė Gražinytė, her father Romualdas Gražinis, the choirmaster of the AIDIJA Chamber Choir, as well as the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the interpretation of the works is in the best hands. The collection of pieces on this album is a testament to Čiurlionis' enduring legacy to Lithuanian culture, as well as to the universal language of art.
