Awards and reviews

April 2021

It’s high time she received wider international recognition. The four pieces here, dating from 2013-19, reveal a fascination with timbre and texture central to Martinaitytė’s creative purpose…Pianist Gabrielius Alekna and the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra perform with subtlety yet robustness – as do the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, all under the baton of Giedrė Šlekytė.

September/October 2021

The three large orchestral works here...share a kind of monumentality, with a great emphasis on highly complex yet lucid textures and a harmonic language that tends to proceed in small, chromatic increments. Likewise, the dynamic shape of the music is massive, but proceeds in a dreamy, elastic manner. Performances here are very powerful.

April 2021

Finely recorded and annotated, this is an ideal way to explore Martinaitytė’s singular musical vision.
