Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Juozas Domarkas

Julius Juzeliūnas (1916-2001) was a Lithuanian composer and teacher, one of the most influential in his country during the 20th century. For more on Juzeliūnas, see my score video of his fifth symphony: youtube.com/watch?v=CrdNrmIaa00

While the Passacaglia-Poem - dating from 1962 if my sleuthing is correct - is certainly less forward-thinking than his later works, it is an impressive and finely orchestrated piece in its own right.
