The recording of this album was inspired by the will to search for new sounds. I wanted to show that the voice i san extraordinary and unique instrument. Harmonized with other instruments it creates fantastic ambiance and various emotions. During one of my concerts in the Berlin Concert Hall I heard a beautiful horn solo. I later found out that it was played by Michelle Perry. At that time I was searching for new ways of expressing myself via another instrument. Our performance at the Berlin Concert Hall lead to the desire to record an album. We chose the works of well-known and valued composers such as Rachmaninov, Grieg, Masse, Gounod and Bernstein, a few unknown oddities and something completely new – Vocalise by Stefan Johannes Walter.A huge buckle, that united our efforts to inspire and please our audience was the piano part played by Timur Enikeev. I hold the belief that to live a beautiful life you have to love and dream. I wish our audience many pleasant and unforgettable experience during the listening of our album (Katarzyna Dondalska).
