Description
Agata-Maria Raatz is a Swiss violinist and composer of Polish descent, an artist of the new generation who seamlessly blends tradition with innovation in a natural and original way. Acclaimed by critics and audiences for her musical expression and technical mastery, she has been described as "a top-class violinist, representing very clear and noble musical goals" (Benjamin Schmid) and in her artistry, "one uncovers the qualities of an exceptional musician--virtuosic and profoundly expressive" (Jean Jordy). In addition to a piece composed by the artist especially for this CD under the pseudonym Clara Jaz, we also find the work "Cette ame a six ailes tout comme les Seraphins" (This soul has six wings like the Seraphim), which was composed especially for Agata-Maria Raatz by the Swiss composer Xavier Dayer. "It brings me great joy to share my musical world with you - as both a performer and a composer. In these current times, we are fortunate to experience two perspectives at once: the classical beauty of masterworks and the captivating freedom of modern music. This connection - between tradition and innovation - allows us to constantly find new inspiration, to see music with fresh eyes, and to experience its boundless diversity in all its forms." Agata-Maria Raatz
