Na Razie, bez Ciebie (2006)
Following the 2001 release of Suites for Dance, Christian ceased playing music for over two years. During this time he published papers and presented at conferences, but did little music making. When he did return to the piano, he recorded and released two dance class CD’s - Etoile Variations for Solo Piano (Logokinesis) and Music for Modern Dance (Behind Barres), but had no plans to record a follow-up to Suites for Dance. A 2006 commission from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre to compose a new work for choreographer Uri Sands, led to the recording of Na Razie, bez Ciebie. In the process of composing Na Razie, bez Ciebie, Christian, inspired by a lost muse, created the work for Ailey as part of a suite of new works. These pieces, when listened to in succession, are the unspoken love letter for a time, place, and person. Na Razie, bez Ciebie was miles away from the quietude of Standing Alone, and a departure from the moody sensuousness of Suites for Dance. This is Impassioned, Sweaty, and Breathless Music.
