Donatas KatkusAbout
As a student of Schreker in Berlin in 1928-32, he initially wrote in a neo-Classical style - as most of the works on this CD attest - and was nicknamed ‘the Lithuanian Hindemith‘.
Back home in the mid-1930s he began to compose in a late-Romantic, gently modernist idiom, tinged with the influence of Lithuanian folk-music.
This is the first recording of the music on this CD.
The artists on this CD are some of the most prominent Lithuanian musicians, from the iconic Vilnius String Quartet, founded in 1965, via the Kaskados Piano Trio, another landmark group, founded in 1997, to the gifted pianist Kasparas Uinskas, one of the most gifted young Lithuanian music active today, and the St Christopher Chamber Orchestra, founded by its conductor Donatas Katkus in 1994 and one of the stars in the Lithuanian musical firmament.
