Review and phots by Henning Høholt

VILNIUS: For his birthday celebration maestro Petras Bingelis has prepared a very demanding program, specially for the Kaunas State Choire, who had  the demanding role to highlight the jubilee concert, and did so very well

associated side effects include pain as well as systemic cheap viagra online exertion associated with resuming sexual activity (Table IV).

.

The program started with Dzukiskos variations by the Lithuanian composer Bronius Kutavicius (1932-), as far as i understand (?) arranged for 4 wooden blowers and cello
. It must be difficult to sing! A demanding and interesting work.  That i should have liked to enjoy with fully orchestra.

It was followed with Igor Stravinskij (1882-1971) Kantata for sopran, tenor, women choire and instrumental chamber ensemble, taken good care of by Lithuanianian Chamber Ensemble, leaded by Džeraldas Bidva. Where close to the end the choire is giving an unexpected and beautiful revelation.

The evening ended with the above mentioned Haydn Paukenmesse. (Mass in Time of War). It was a hit, for excellent soloists, Asta Kriksciunaite, sopran, Rita Novikaite, mezzo, Mindaugas Zimkus, tenor and Liudas Mikalauskas, bass. The nine parts of the mess was splendid formed, coire parts, and soli among each other. For me personally the long beautiful choire part “Gloria”, and later “Sanctus” some of the highlights. Furthermore beautiful bass solo, sung by Liudas Mikalauskas, became a big hit, what a wonderful voice this singer has, but he was only one of the many deliciouse parts of the concert. Lithuanianian Chamber Ensemble and the Kaunas State Choire was he basic for the event.
