Vytautas Bacevicius remained virtually unknown as a composer during his lifetime, in contrast to the fortunes of his sister Grazyna Bacewicz, who retained her Polish nationality. Rendered stateless by the outbreak of WWII while on tour as a concert pianist in Argentina, he eventually settled in New York until his death in 1970, giving acclaimed piano recitals, teaching, and writing astoundingly original orchestral scores. He never lost his deep allegiance to and nostalgia for Lithuania. This recording gives an eloquent introduction to his pianistic virtuosity and mystical, Scriabinesque orchestral vision.
