全球藝情：Przemysław Strączek & Chiao-Hua Chang

★★★★★ Milan Bator， Ostravan.cz ★★★★★

「波蘭才華洋溢的吉他手Przemysław Strączek，在與 Chiao-Hua Chang 的二重奏中，激發出令人驚艷的多元創新音樂靈感。

這是一場 寧靜而自由 的音樂表達，沒有既定的方向，亦不受形式與時間的拘束。樂聲如同夜幕低垂時的暮光——短暫卻詩意。

在民族樂器的絢麗音色之中，聽者得以隨音而行，展開一場無邊的感官之旅。搭配才華橫溢的演奏家兼歌手 Chang 罕見的歌聲，與 Strączek 溫潤細膩、充滿旋律變化的吉他聲交織，營造出迷人且獨特的聆聽體驗。」

“The brilliant Polish guitarist Przemysław Strączek found new inspiration for his incredibly diverse and innovative music in a duet with Chiao-Hua Chang. It was a peaceful demonstration of complete freedom of musical expression without a specific direction and strictly defined framework of form and time. Ephemeral and poetic music like evening twilight. The beautiful sound of ethnic instruments, as well as the rare vocals of the talented instrumentalist and vocalist Chang, sounded captivating and unusual in combination with a velvety, revealing guitar full of swirling modulations.”
