Description

In 2017, after three successful albums recorded with WALFAD, Wojciech Ciuraj decided to record his first solo album. “Ballady bez Romansow” is inspired by  a collection of poems titled „Ballads and Romances” (Polish: Ballady i romanse) written by a Polish Romantic-era poet Adam Mickiewicz. „Ballady bez Romansow” is a piece of music that falls outside any definitions. It’s abundant in catchy and mysterious tunes as well as constant changes of the mood so typical of Ciuraj’s approach to creating  music. On his debut,  Wojciech Ciuraj on  the one hand pays tribute to progressive rock classics, on the other hand  shows himself as a composer who is into writing more catchy tunes. „ Ballady bez Romansów” is probably the most  accessible record in his career so far. Its fable-like and poetic character may attract both listeners who tend to enjoy easy on the ear tunes and those  who have more demanding taste in music.
