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 âme a six ailes tout comme les Séraphins" (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
