Anatolijus Šenderovas, one of the most interesting voices in Lithuanian music, passed away in 2019. This production presents all the string trios by the composer, who was awarded the European Composer Prize in 2002.

Šenderovas had a lifelong friendship with cellist David Geringas, who can be heard here as cellist of the Grand Trio Vilnius.

The piano trios represent the most important phases of Šenderovas' work:

Beginning with Piano Trio No. 1, which the 26-year-old wrote while still under the influence of Dmitri Shostakovich's music, to the late works “Song and Dance” and “Pages from a forgotten book,” which reveal a composer who has grappled intensively with the roots of his Jewish heritage.
