In 2020, Onutė collaborated with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra and released her first CD with works by Arvo Pärt titled Lamentate. The album received praise from foreign critics, including BBC Music Magazine, Pizzicato, Diapason d'or and Diapason d'or Arte. Arvo Pärt himself expressed his admiration for Onutė Gražinytė: "[She] is a pianist who, despite her young age, has already reached a remarkable musical maturity. I appreciate her musical sensitivity in performing my works."
This performance [...] is one of the best I have ever heard, delicately balancing on the tightrope of subtlety and power.
