The Lodz Philharmonic Choir and conductor Dawid Ber perform sacred choral works by Faure, Whitbourn and Grzeszczak. The album contains three, completely stylistically different, rarely performed masses.

This new album introduces to international audience the music of Eduardas Balsys (1919–1984), a key figure in Lithuania’s music from the 1950s until his death in 1984. This album release by the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Modestas Pitrėnas includes three works from this award-winning composer, including his early breakthrough work, Violin Concerto No. 1, alongside two other orchestral scores. In these works, Balsys reveals himself as a master of rich, colourful orchestral scores.
