Merūnas – New Album Launch

Merūnas with a string quartet and a band — NEW ALBUM LAUNCH

One of Lithuania’s most prominent tenors, Merūnas Vitulskis, is presenting a new album and inviting audiences to special launch concerts in cities across Lithuania. The new album is a sensitive, mature musical story about love: about a wonderful feeling that arrives, changes a person, protects them through life’s most unexpected turns and lasts forever. As Merūnas sings in one of the new album’s songs, you can give it your very soul, and then—whatever happens, happens…

The new songs have been created to reveal the full beauty of Merūnas’s distinctive voice. The songs for the album were written by Merūnas, Ieva Narkutė and Stanislavas Stavickis. The album was recorded at the Lithuanian Television recording studio and features a selected symphony orchestra conducted by Paulius Lygnugaris.

On the concert tour, listeners will also have the chance to hear the pieces in a particularly beautiful sound: the new songs have been specially arranged for live performance with a string quartet and a band. They will accompany Merūnas throughout the tour.

The new album recordings with a symphony orchestra, demanding vocal parts and a concert tour with a string quartet and a band are like a symbolic return to the broad, live and elegant sound that Merūnas’s listeners will remember from the album “Muzika – Lietuvai.” Merūnas returns to this sound exactly ten years later. Released in 2016, “Muzika – Lietuvai,” created with composer Kipras Mašanauskas and recorded with the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, became one of the most ambitious projects of the performer’s career. The album was accompanied by major concerts in arenas across the country with the LVSO and conductor Gintaras Rinkevičius, followed by a concert tour of Lithuania. It was then that “Tas jausmas,” still performed at Merūnas’s concerts, was created. The duet with Aistė Smilgevičiūtė on “Muzika – Lietuvai” was also very well received by audiences.

Merūnas smiles and reveals that the new album will also feature a duet with another wonderful voice. Who is it? For now, it’s a secret. Before the concert tour, the singer promises to introduce listeners to the most important songs from the new album, including the upcoming duet.

Merūnas’s new album, recorded with an orchestra, will also be released on vinyl.
