Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, Anatolijus Šenderovas, Vidmantas Bartulis, Vytautas Barkauskas and Faustas Latėnas - five different personalities who created the history of Lithuanian musical culture. However, they were all united by courage and individuality, broad horizons of creative activity. Five unique, unmistakable voices, five views of the Lithuanian identity, are presented in the concert through five works of different volumes for cello and piano. Each of these compositions is a unique sound cosmos that tells about the meanings of the surrounding world, reveals mysterious beauty, and tells a wonderful legend. All this is included in the vinyl record "Legends" by cellist Gleb Pyšniak and pianist Roko Zubov, which opens up the colorful landscape of Lithuanian music.
