About

Music can, perhaps more than the other arts, capture something of the mystery described with the term sacrum; this topic has been discussed for ages and some have tended at times to adopt this hypothesis. This other dimension permeates the universe of the human with his mortality and probably also the one of nature with its cyclical self renewal: untouchable, crumbling into nothingness when no one tries to reach it, explored yet impenetrable, it constitutes a sphere towards which spells, prayers, and pleas have perpetually been directed. The creative tension between ritual and its cultural sublimination, art, has resulted in masterworks created by the force of the human imagination: masses by Guillaume de Machaut and Bach, the Requiems of Johannes Ockegham, Morales, Mozart, and others. Pawel Szymanski has referred to this tradition in his works for voices and instruments almost from the very beginning.This new release focuses on the music of Szymanski, and features his works Lux aeterna (1984), Miserere (1993), In paradisum deducant te Angeli (1995) and Phylakterion (2011). Pawel Szymanski currently lives and works as a freelance artist in Warsaw.
