Furthermore, the “Sad Waltz” and “Song of Love Afar,” both featuring a soprano solo, are set to poems by the Lithuanian-French poet Oscar Milosz.\nAlthough Martinaitis is well known among avid fans of Baltic music, very few albums feature his works; this performance by the St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Modestas Barkauskas, will be a boon not only to his fans but also to many music lovers.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ondine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53374649958689,"sku":"4589538775421","price":2511.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538775421.jpg?v=1787632193","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538775421","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
