Beautifully performed by the elite group of vocalists carefully selected from the university's student body, the album evokes a variety of musical genres, vocal colors, and historical styles, taking listeners on a spiritual journey through life's tribulations to ultimate redemption. LUX AETERNA is a meditation on universal human themes that listeners will find richly meaningful.

One of the most talented composers of the young generation' a distinct strongly-outlined individuality' a composer of rare talent' - these are just some examples of the words of praise which Pawe Ukaszewski has earned from critics. Now that his works are more and more often performed by internationally-renowned professional ensembles music lovers are offered a chance to gain insights into his output. - Ewelina Sroczy ska.
