Opium String Quartet (O.S.Q) was formed in the spring of 2004. Just under three months later, they made their debut at the summer festival in honor of Jerzy Waldorf in Radziejowice, receiving enthusiastic reviews.
The beginnings of the quartet's history date back to 1993, when Joanna Baran and Jadwiga Wołek founded a guitar duo called Alirio Duo. Despite the successes the duo achieved in Poland and abroad, the artists decided to expand its lineup, wanting to enrich...
Adam Domagała: When you founded the famous Alban Berg Quartet over 40 years ago, you were already, like your colleagues, a recognized virtuoso, a professor at the Academy of Music in Vienna. Using terminology from the world of pop music: it was a supergroup, loud from the very beginning due to the reputation of its members. Do you think that in today's times such a 'professorial' venture would have a chance of success? Could it capture the attention of a distracted audience?

Libertango is an exceptional piece from the album by Kayah, a Polish vocalist who decided to reach for the music of Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla. This piece is a great example of blending different musical styles, such as Argentine tango and classical music. In this case, Kayah enriched her vocals with the accompaniment of the Royal String Quartet, which gives this recording an extraordinary character. Astor Piazzolla, regarded as one of the most important composers of tango music, created Libertango in 1973. It is a combination of two words: "Libertad" meaning "freedom" and "Tango" - one of the most characteristic dances. This piece, like many others by Piazzolla, stands out with intense emotions and a strong rhythm that affects the listener. Kayah's vocals give this piece a Polish accent and enliven it with her interpretation. Her distinctive, deep voice fits perfectly with the melodic tango. It is an interesting combination that shows how diverse musical possibilities are and how music can be a universal language of expression. This extraordinary performance of Libertango, accompanied by the Royal String Quartet, adds new colors to it. The arrangement of this piece, performed by the ensemble, allows listeners to discover new shades of sounds and brings out the beauty of each instrument in the string quartet. The era in which Libertango was created is known as the "nuevo tango" of the 1950s and 1960s. Astor Piazzolla introduced modern elements to traditional tango at that time, which still causes controversy among fans of this music. Kayah & Royal String Quartet in their performance of Libertango delightfully combine tradition with modernity, presenting classical sounds in a new context. Their interpretation of this piece speaks to the listener and allows for reflection on many aspects of art and its impact. It is a true feast for the ears and a craft for music lovers.
This piece is a combination of two worlds - traditional tango and modern music. Kayah, with her beautiful, expressive voice, immerses us in a melancholic mood that perfectly harmonizes with the arrangement made by the Royal String Quartet. Their playing is full of energy and passion, while also maintaining delicacy and subtlety. All of this makes "Libertango" an extraordinary, hypnotic musical experience. This remarkable combination of Kayah's talent and the Royal String Quartet makes this piece feel like it's from another era, yet at the same time incredibly modern and fresh. A piece worth listening to and experiencing for oneself.
