Ciurlionis - Ciurlionis: Piano Music Vol. 1

One of Lithuania's leading artistic figures, Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis pursued a career as a painter as well as a musician, seeing all art as springing from the same source. His earlier works inhabit a romantic idiom, with the colorful influences of folk-music and the beauty of the countryside intermingled with pieces showing his development while at the Conservatoires of Warsaw and Leipzig. Muza Rubackyto's recordings of Ciurlionis have been described as 'flawless' (American Record Guide).
