The XXII International Music Festival “Užutrakis Evenings” hosted a highly anticipated program featuring works by H. Purcello, B. Britten, and F.
Schubert. The performance successfully presented an exploration across diverse musical eras and styles, all unified under the thematic framework of Romanticism. A significant aspect of this year’s festival was the return of cellist M.
Rysanov to the Užutrakis stage after a fourteen-year absence. This event was notable not only for its exceptional repertoire but also for the presence of the acclaimed musician. Rysanov has a documented connection to the festival, having performed in 2012.
During that earlier appearance, he performed solo and in duet with renowned violinist Sergei Krylov, the artistic director and conductor of the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra. That 2012 performance was recognized as a world premiere, stemming from a specially curated program prepared for the festival. M.
Rysanov’s return added considerable depth to the current proceedings, making the evening particularly memorable for attendees. The program effectively opened up a rich spectrum of musical history for the audience. The performance successfully navigated three distinct worlds of musical expression, demonstrating the breadth of the featured composers.
The overall presentation provided a comprehensive cultural experience, solidifying the festival’s reputation for presenting high-caliber international music.
