Eduardas Balsys

Eduardas Balsys (1919-1984) was one of the most talented Lithuanian composers of the post-war generation. Even though he spent his most productive years in the period of Soviet regime, his music stood out for its high artistic standard, and still remains appealing and fresh-sounding. The leader of stylistic breakthrough of the 60s and one of the most influential figures in the post-Stalinist resurgence of Lithuanian music, the composer is ascribed to moderate modernist trend.
