Lituanie - Le Pays des Chansons

Ocora C 600005, recorded by Lietuvos Radijas (Radio National Lituanienne), 1958-1995

Lithuania- the Country of Songs, Appears to Be a Most Appropriate Expression to Describe How Lithuanians Express Themselves Through Music. Most Villages and Cities Have Known Singers and Choirs, and Many Different Styles of Singing Have Been Developed. Lithuania Is Well Known for Its Singing Festivals Where More Than 10,000 Singers May Participate. This Cd Is a Rare Opportunity. We Hear Extremely High Quality Recordings from the Beginning of the 20th Century That Survived the Passage of Time. We Hear Singers, Choirs, and Musicians, Now Deceased, Who Offer Us a Marvelous Historical View of the Music of a People Whose History Has Joys, But Also Losses, Wars, and Displacements, and for Whom Singing Has Played a Vital Role In Their Survival as a People.
