about

Osvaldas Balakauskas is one of the most prominent Lithuanian modernist composers, whose musical authority and influence have shaped generations of composers since the 1970s. Balakauskas was known for his unorthodox, independent and anti-dogmatic aesthetic attitude, as well as his ‘Erasmian’ social character traits, and leadership qualities. His music, which was flagged as ‘bizarre’ and ‘abrasive’ for featuring elements such as prepared piano, amplified and distorted cello or reversed tapes, offered a breath of fresh air, foreshadowing a future of new and independent creative possibilities.

Released by the Music Information Centre Lithuania, with cover design by Jokūbas Jacovskis, the CD titled Erasmus presents five hitherto under-noticed works composed in the last two decades of the 20th century, all characteristic of Balakauskas’ versatile composing styles, ranging from jazz to post-minimalism, and featuring electro-acoustic elements, as well as his distinctive ‘Balakauskas’ tonality’.
