The fourth and final recording of Agnieszka Budzinska-Bennett's "Mare Balticum" project with and about music from the Baltic region, the first of which has already received the coveted ICMA, is perhaps the most beautiful. One-part melodies sung by four women in their own rhythm and yet in complete unison transport us to the bygone world of the Middle Ages. Solo songs bring us even closer to that time. For instance, when - this is just one example - Lorenza Donadini as Mary laments the death of Jesus, we hear the grief of a living mother over the death of her own child.
What a pity that this excursion into the past lasts only 79 minutes!

Pizzicato (12/14/2021):
Die vierte und letzte Aufnahme des Projektes Mare Balticum mit Musik aus dem Ostseeraum, enthält mehrheitlich einstimmige Melodien, die uns nicht nur einfach in die vergangene Welt des Mittelalters versetzen, sondern eine direkt mystische Atmosphäre schaffen. more...
Pizzicato (12/14/2021):
The fourth and last recording of the project Mare Balticum with music from the Baltic region, contains mostly monophonic melodies that not only simply transport us to the world of the Middle Ages, but create a directly mystical atmosphere with a music that is both transfiguring and reconciling.
All in all, a grandiose result has been achieved in this production, with subtly realized and well differentiated interpretations, the effect of which one cannot escape and which allows the mystical longing of baroque piety to blossom in an intimate setting.
