Returns – Agnieszka Traczewska

Although Jews have been living in Poland for a thousand years, Hasidism began in the country during the second half of the eighteenth century. With great insight, empathy, determination, personal charm, and professional skill, Agnieszka Traczewska has succeeded here in revealing the Hasidim during particularly intimate spiritual moments, which are otherwise little known in the outside world in any detail. This album takes us on a journey that may appear to some to be in the past, though in fact, it is entirely in the present.
