Gaida

Gaida Ensemble & KammarensembleN

Gaida is Lithuania’s biggest festival for contemporary music, and every year the most important and prominent Lithuanian and international composers of modern music are presented here.

The composers on this CD are all from Lithuania and the record is part of an exchange project (Musical Links) that took place a couple years ago between Concerts Sweden and Lithuania.

All music is performed by The Gaida Ensemble conducted by Mindaugas Piecaitis & Daniel Gazon, and The Chamber Ensemble (KammarensembleN) conducted by Franck Ollu.

The names of the composers and works are: S. Nakas: Aporia and Drang Nach Westen. A New Sermon to the Barbarians (the latter with the Chamber Ensemble) R. Merkelys: Compass, V. V. Jurgutis: Telogenos J. Juozapaitis: Jaura.

The record is a SACD (hybrid, playable on all standard CD-players)
