Review by Café Satis Café Satis

The album Requiem In Memoriam Stasys Lozoraitis by Osvaldas Balakauskas, Judita Leitaitė, Vilnius Municipal Choir, Christopher Chamber Orchestra Of Vilnius, Donatas Katkus is a moving tribute to the Lithuanian diplomat, Stasys Lozoraitis, who served as the country's ambassador to the United States during the Soviet occupation.

The album features a powerful and emotional requiem, composed by Balakauskas and performed by the Vilnius Municipal Choir and the Christopher Chamber Orchestra Of Vilnius, under the direction of Donatas Katkus. The piece is a beautiful blend of traditional choral music and contemporary classical elements, with haunting melodies and stirring harmonies that evoke a sense of loss and remembrance.

Leitaitė's vocals are particularly impressive, conveying a sense of sorrow and reverence that perfectly captures the spirit of the piece. The choir's performance is also top-notch, with each member contributing to the overall effect of the music.
