Lithuanian Music

[guest224]

I have put into the downloads section a suite from the ballet Jūratė ir Kastytis by Juozas Gruodis (1884-1948). The recording is from an old Melodiya LP.

This suite contains 8 pieces, as follows:

1. Rytiečių Šokis (Oriental Dance)
2. A La Chopin   
3. Valsas (Waltz)
4. Jūros Daina (Song of the Sea)
5. Koralų Šokis (Coral Dance)
6. Armonika (Accordion)
7. Rauda (Lament)
8. Lietuviškas Šokis (Lithuanian Dance)

There is a different suite from the ballet on a recent CD, but it's commercially available so I can't upload it here. Details here - http://www.mic.lt/en/database/classical/releases/931/

A bizarre mix of pop, folk and classical, with minimal documentation. Some really interesting discs here, though. Thanks for the link!
