Muza Rubackyte- Ciurlionis: Piano Music 2
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 Rubackyte's recordings of Ciurlionis have been described as `flawless' (American Record Guide) and she herself as `one of today's most important pianists' (Chicago Tribune).
