ADAM BAŁDYCH QUARTET Sacrum Profanum (ACT)
Following his previous projects with Israeli pianist Yaron Herman and the Helge Lien Trio from Norway, it is Adam Bałdych’s first album recorded for ACT Music with a group of Polish musicians. “Sacrum Profanum” is the violin virtuoso’s perhaps most ambitious endeavor. Featuring his reworkings of classical composers from different epochs (Thomas Tallis, Hildegarda von Bingen, Sofia Gubajdulina, Gregorio Allegri), the Polish mediaeval hymn “Bogurodzica”, as well as his own compositions, it is in his own words “a multidimensional effort which defies classication”. Adam Bałdych is playing violin and Renaissance violin, with Krzysztof Dys on piano, Michał Baranski on bass and Dawid Fortuna on drums.
