Passacaglia

Description

A duo at the top of the European jazz scene: the encounter between Adam Baldych and Leszek Mozdzer. "Passacaglia" brings together two of Polish jazz's leading figures, violinist Adam Baldych and pianist Leszek Mozdzer (a true phenomenon and major star in his home country). The connections and affinities between them are so evident that this meeting had been long-awaited. This first joint album reveals the musical essence of the two protagonists. They use a very unusual combination of instruments. In addition to the classical violin, Baldych also plays a Renaissance-era violin, which offers a soft, warm sound and a deeper tessitura. He also plays with astonishing pizzicato resonance, which remarkably supports the melancholic melodies. As for Mozdzer, his classical education (which includes Polish musical tradition) almost always serves as a basis for him to explore his own sonic worlds with virtuoso technique. The result is a unique sound. An inspired encounter that will delight all music lovers fond of chamber jazz and contemporary musical aesthetics.
