Synopsis

Product Description
Bronius Kutaviius oratorio The Seasons (20058) sets texts from a classic Lithuanian poem by 18th c. pastor-poet Kristijonas Donelaitis describing the peasants life of toil. The Seasons mixes musical modernism and folk-inspired primitivism in an astonishingly powerful portrayal of the interaction of human activity and natural forces. Born 1932, Mr. Kutaviius is Lithuanias senior composer and is regarded as a national treasure. This 2012 live recording documents the first complete performance, given in the composers presence, as part of the celebrations marking his 80th birthday.
