COLLECTOR'S EDITION

SENOS NAUJENOS (Old and New)

First let us tell you about this CD

This CD is a Collectors item. It was published to commemorate the 15th anniversary of this group that has come to represent Traditional Lithuanian Folk Music all over the world. Each CD comes in a book (English and Lithuanian) which tells of the group's history and each book and CD is numbered.

There were only 1000 of these made. We came across this Special Edition CD while we were researching what CD's to offer to our clients. A distributor showed us his personal copy. When asked how we could get some of these he said "impossible". Fortunately we have another distributor that has closer relations with the publishing company. As it turns out the publishing company held some in reserve. So the good news is that there are still a few copies left.

Now let us tell you about the group

The Lithuanian Folk Music Band Sutaras is a professional folklore group. You will find the whole range of Lithuanian instrumental folk music in its repertoire from old rituals, to authentic shepherds' instruments dating to the end of the 19th Century, to the international and classical instruments that became increasingly more common in the villages of Lithuania by the beginning if the 20th Century. During a Sutaras concert you might hear a unique polyphonic sutartine (round) performed on daudytes (wooden horns), rageliai (horns), or skuducai (pan pipes). Lively Lithuanian folk dances are played with violins, accordions, clarinets, cymbals, and a number of other instruments. You will sense traditional village music coupled with the precision characteristic of professional musicians when you listen to the music of Sutaras.

During their 20 years of existence, the Folk Music Band Sutaras has participated in over 4,500 performances, which ranged from concerts, dances, and television and radio programs to performances at festivals, exhibitions, and other festivities. Thousands applauded Sutaras at the 1991 PORTA festival in the Czech Republic, at the well-known Skagen festival of Denmark in 1992 and again in 1995, at Rudolstat, Germany in 1994, and at Mistelbach, Austria in 1995. The citizens of Washington, DC swirled in the waves of dancers while Sutaras played at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in 1998, as did the onlookers in Queensland, Australia during the 1998 Woodford Folk Festival. The kings of Malaysia and Spain have heard the sounds of Lithuanian instruments. Scores of people attended the performances of Sutaras at Expo 1998 in Lisabon and at the 2000 Expo in Hanover. Lithuanian melodies were heard live over the radio (during two-hour performances) by the citizens of the Netherlands, Australia, and by listeners of Euroradio, among others.

Fans of Sutaras exist in many countries of the world and you will find Sutaras recordings in many prominent radio stations. The creative history of Sutaras started on December 30, 1988, during its first performance for the staff of the Vilnius Central Department Store, and it has extended to far-off Australia, where on the precise date of the group's 10 year anniversary Sutaras performed on Australia's largest Woodford Folk Festival's Folkloric stage.

This long road has continued through the various events of the reinstatement of Lithuanian independence, where Sutaras represented Lithuania during the most important national holidays in the highest-ranking gatherings. It is very symbolic that Sutaras' 10th anniversary performance happened half-way arround the globe in Australia. This shows Sutaras' wide scope in making the sound of Lithuanian traditional musical culture famous.
