Vytautas Bacevičius
Orchestral Music
Album UK 2007 on Toccata Classics label
Classical (Modern)
The Lithuanian pianist and composer Vytautas Bacevičius (1905-70) is one of the undiscovered radicals of the twentieth century. The early works on this CD show him finding his voice, as in the First Piano Concerto, with its echoes of Scriabin, and the Poème électrique, cast in the ‘machinist’ aesthetic in vogue in the 1920s and ’30s. The programmatic Second Symphony depicts the onset of the Second World War which Bacevičius, desperately anxious about his family in Poland and Lithuania, followed from his exile in the New World. And the late Sixth Symphony and Graphique, which show a kaleidoscopic, pointilliste use of orchestral colour, boiling with violent energy, point to an entirely new musical language. Recorded at the Congress Hall in Vilnius, 8-10 January 2003 (Poème électrique; Symphonies; Graphique) and 5 January 2005 (Concerto).
