Despite the case's modest dimensions and resulting variable layout possibilities,  the builder of this organ opted for specifications and scaling whose grandeur truly fills the room  with sound. The publication of the CD was initiated by the Baltic Organ Center (Baltisches Orgel  Centrum), Stralsund. The Great Organ of St. John’s Church in Vilnius Vidas Pinkevičius, Organ & Giedrius Gelgotas, Flute (2008) The CD was recorded at the University (St. John's) Church in Vilnius, October 2008. The  popular pieces by J.S.Bach, T.Vitali, A.Guilmant, G.Fauré, and L.J.A.Lefébure-Wély are  sounding in it. This is the first-ever recording of the largest pipe organ in Lithuania.  Lithuanian Historical Organs Balys Vaitkus, Organ (2008) The CD was recorded in October, 2008 on the historical organs of nine Lithuanian Churches: in  Dotnuva, Griškabūdis, Kretinga, Lazdijai, Pumpėnai, Švėkšna, Tytuvėnai, and Vabalninkas. It  was sought to show an actual instrument with its sonorous and technical possibilities, and from  the other side - not to break apart too much from the stylistic requirements of the selected  pieces. CD was released on behalf of the Department of Cultural Heritage under the Lithuanian  Ministry of Culture.

Shorter works, placed alongside the  monumental fugues, bring out the importance of the detail in music of Čiurlionis as well as the  picturesque sound of the organ intuitively felt by the composer, possible contrasts and  confluence of images, the continuity and versatility of the form.  Lithuanian Organ Landscape (Orgellandschaft Litauen) Martin Rost, Organ / Germany (2009) The CD represents 10 historical organs in Vilnius, Kretinga, Dotnuva, Švėkšna, Pumpėnai, and  Vabalninkas.
