Here are two symphonies by Julius Juzeliūnas (1916–2001)

Symphony No. 2 in B Minor (1951)
Latvian National Symphony Orchestra / Leonīds Vīgners
http://www.mediafire.com/?iwb7fnamq275e4b
This is the old link from Unsung Composers. We had a discussion about the orchestra there and it came out that most probably, this is not the Leningrad Philharmonic as announced on the LP sleeve but the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra. I guess the info file which is part of the rar might still contain this error.

Symphony No. 3 "Man's Lyre" on words by Eduardas Mieželaitis for Baritone, Choir and Orchestra (1965)
Yuri Yakushev, Baritone / Large Choir of Moscow Radio / USSR Large Radio and TV Symphony Orchestra / Gennady Rozhdestvensky
http://www.mediafire.com/?u71xqc3x8grbpzt

Both come from Melodiya LPs.

While No. 2 is a tuneful work near to the principles of Socialist Realism, No. 3 is far more philosophical and in my view probably the best piece by Juzeliūnas which I know.

Sorry Dundonnel (sorry I don't know your real name) - I forgot to put it in, it is in now. You must have written that 2 minutes after I had first posted.  Perhaps you might also care to comment on the piece, it would mean a lot to me.  I don't often get feedback on here, and I went a considerable way out of my way in Lithuania, at some expense, to get this.
