Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis (1875–1911) was both composer and painter, a rare synesthetic talent whose music mirrors his visionary visual art. This album presents 35 piano works tracing his evolution from intimate folk-inspired preludes to bold, chromatic explorations, illuminated by Lithuanian tradition, mystical symbolism, and the influence of his mother. Pianist Geert Callaert brings tender clarity and interpretive freedom to Ciurlionis’ delicate yet daring scores, offering listeners a unique journey through one of the early 20th century’s most singular artistic minds.
