This CD was produced by BREWHOUSE for NATALYAS FUND, a British charity which provided equipment for childrens wards in Lithuanian hospitals.

Ciurlionis (1875-1911) is a little known composer and little of his music is available in recordings. As far as we know this is the only available Recording of his Quartet No. 2 in C minor. The music deserves to be better known. It is classical in style, lyrical and it will be a delightful surprise to newcomers to this undervalued Lithuanian composer.
The Vilnius Quartet is of course, also from Lithuania.

A non musical surprise is the cover picture which was painted by the composer who called it Friendship. Purely fortuitously it is an echo of the Natalyas Fund logo.

We really can recommend introducing yourself to the music of Ciurlionis through this CD. All money raised from sales is for the Charity.
