In Memoriam (2014)

This two-disc compilation was released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Jacek Kaczmarski's death by the Music Agency of Polish Radio.

The first disc, Sen kochającego psa, contains songs from the later period of the artist's career (mainly from the albums Dwie skały and Mimochodem). The second disc, Koncert na XX-lecie, features a selection of songs from one of his best concerts, recorded on December 11, 1996, for Polish Radio at the Riviera Auditorium in Warsaw, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Kaczmarski's artistic career. This performance was especially unique, as it took place in the same hall where the artist began his career 20 years earlier. The concert, with its well-curated repertoire and outstanding performance, was described by critics and audiences as a remarkable event.

Two years earlier, a full recording of the concert was released as part of the box set Ze sceny by Warner Music Poland.
