Overview

Baltaragio Malūnas is a literary masterpiece by Kazys Boruta, a cornerstone of Lithuanian literature that intertwines folk themes and motifs with realism, psychological depth, and vivid characterization. Boruta's work explores the beauty and pride of the Lithuanian people through a dramatic story inspired by folklore. The book is known for its lush, poetic depiction of love, conflict, and spiritual transformation, all embedded within the fabric of rural Lithuanian traditions.

This LP features excerpts from the novel, with Regina Paliukaitytė’s evocative narration, capturing the emotional depth of the story. The music for these readings is composed by notable Lithuanian musicians M. K. Čiurlionis, L. Povilaičius, A. Račiūnas, and J. Švedo, bringing an additional layer of atmospheric richness. The performance is further enriched by the participation of the LTSR State Conservatory Students' Lithuanian Folk Instruments Orchestra, conducted by V. Leimontas.

Paliukaitytė's skilled voice and the folk-infused orchestration help to bring the story's central romantic narrative of Jurgis and Girdvainis to life, with a haunting, poetic quality that resonates with the spirit of Lithuanian heritage.
