Senderovas / Vio / Fortvio - Anatolijus Senderovas: Music for Strings - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In the heyday of English Renaissance music, the boundaries of musical forms and instrumental technique were expanded and composers embarked on a search for new, fascinating sounds. Thanks to the outstanding ensemble on this recording - Anna-Lena Elbert, Friederike Heumann (viola da gamba, lyra viol), Evangelina Mascardi (Renaissance lute) and Angelique Mauillon (harp) - this music blossoms again in it's ancient splendor and we can be enchanted by it's beauty, ingenuity and bittersweet melancholy.

The Lithuanian composer Feliksas Bajoras began his career as a violinist. His compositions demonstrate his strong interest in Lithuanian folk-music and often contain a personal element. His Symphony No. 2 reflects his experiences on a visit to the former Czechoslovakia, and Zenklas (The Sign) sets a poem by Mindaugas Tomonis, whose death in the Soviet period it commemorates. Fully aware of twentieth-century musical trends abroad, Bajoras absorbs these into his musical language, essentially continuing the neo-romantic tradition. Album Tracks 1.
