CD Reviews

Lively dance music

givaska4 | CT, USA | 11/07/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As dance instructor for a Lithuanian folk dance group, I found this recording absolutely beautiful. Not only is the music and instrumentation lovely, the dances are actually dance-able! This is very rare in commercial recordings of folk dance music. I recommend this CD to all Lithuanian folk dance instructors and to anyone who would like to get acquainted with Lithuanian folk music. Enjoy!"

I agree with C. Danute Cekauskas-Voelker!!!

"Okay, so I haven't actually listened to the CD, but I am here to add some fuel to the statement that Lithuanians are NOT Russians!!! Are Colombians the same as Chileans? Are Sicilians the same as Romans? Excuse me, Amazon, but Lithuanians and Russians do not even use the same alphabet. By the way, I do not have anything against Russians! (Let's get that straight) I unfortunately cannot speak Lithuanian, but I am just as proud of my Lithuanian heritage as the first reviewer. So, Amazon.com, since your'e such an oh-so wonderful website, think you can have a little more insight and realize that just because some countries are close in proximity does not mean that they are all the same ethnic groups??"

Beautiful voices

"The cd has the beautiful voices of Lithuania recorded on it in glorious splendor. Gave as a gift for my elderly aunt from the old country and she loved it! Came quickly, very pleased."
