Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Polish trio delves deeply into the mystic traditions of Hasidic Judaism on 'Nizozot', radically reinterpreting wordless spiritual melodies known as nigunim. The ensemble utilizes a unique instrumentation of clarinet, cello, and contrabass clarinet to create a remarkably heavy and mysterious chamber music atmosphere. The acoustic performances emphasize deep resonance and spiritual contemplation, bridging Ashkenazi traditionalism with modern avant-garde sensibilities.
