If Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis (1875-1911) had been Russian, he could have been just another of those artist-musician-philosophers with which the salons of Moscow and St. Petersburg teemed at the turn of the 20th century.
In Nikolaus Lahusen, Ciurlionis has an interpreter who not only appreciates the depth of his abstract, modernist thought but can realize a convincing approximation of their aesthetic implications through a magical ability to create space and context from each opening bar.
This third volume of his complete cycle consists of 51 mostly epigrammatically brief, harmonically conservative pieces: the longest work is symbolically enough, a nine-minute set of six variations without a theme.
