14. Extase

A journey through passion, vision, and sensuality, this album brings together three luminous works for voice and orchestra. At its heart is Ernest Chaussons Pome de lamour et de la mer, Op. 19a sweeping, late-Romantic meditation on love and loss, where human emotion dissolves into the vastness of the sea. Benjamin Brittens Les illuminations, Op. 18, follows with electric intensity, setting Rimbauds vivid, surreal poetry in music that is both incisive and radiant. The program closes with Camille Saint-Sans rare and intimate Extase, a delicate song of rapture and surrender. Tenor Edgaras Montvidas brings refined lyricism and emotional depth to this richly poetic repertoire, joined by the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra (for the Chausson), and conductor Modestas Pitrnas. An exploration of love, language, and longingwhere music becomes poetry, and poetry sings. Recorded at Lithuanian National Philharmonic Hall (June 2021).
