Vinyl (LP) Kostas Smoriginas su Vytauto Lukočiaus „Vilniaus Sinfonietta“ ir VDU kamerinis orkestras – Kostas Smoriginas su Vilniaus Sinfonietta ir VDU kameriniu orkestru

Experience the monumental collaboration between a legend of the Lithuanian bard scene and the grandeur of a full orchestral ensemble.

Originally recorded in 2020 and released on vinyl by Bardai LT in 2021, this self-titled album features the legendary Kostas Smoriginas performing alongside Vytautas Lukočius’ „Vilniaus Sinfonietta“ and the VDU Chamber Orchestra. This limited edition, numbered LP captures a breathtaking reinterpretation of Smoriginas’ most iconic repertoire.

Known for his introspective narratives and acoustic simplicity, Smoriginas transcends his traditional folk roots here. The album merges classical orchestration with folk melodies, creating a rich, symphonic texture that breathes new life into his evocative ballads. From the soaring string arrangements to the deep, resonant vocals, this release is a masterclass in merging the intimacy of "sung poetry" (dainuojamoji poezija) with the power of a chamber orchestra.
