His musical curiosity is very strong, which is reflected in his cross-genre, interdisciplinary and intercultural projects - the trademark of Valer Sabadus. These include "Songs of Love" with the Syrian singer Dima Orsho and Musica Alta Ripa, a combination of music by Henry Purcell and composers from the Orient, or the programme "Closer to Paradise" with the classical band SPARK, with yearning sounds ranging from Handel to the cult band Rammstein.

These projects also feature in his discography, such as "Café - Orient meets Occident" (2012) and "Trialogue - Music for the One God" with the Turkish Pera Ensemble (2013), "Alla Napoletana" with the ensemble L'Arpeggiata (2021) and "Closer to Paradise" with the classical band SPARK (2022). They occupy an important place in his extensive and varied discography, alongside operas, concertos and solo repertoire. More than 25 productions to date testify to the breadth of his artistic output, ranging from early Baroque works by Claudio Monteverdi and Francesco Cavalli, 18th-century Italian sacred and operatic music and Sergei Rachmaninov's Vocalise to expressionist and contemporary works such as Enjott Schneider's Requiem "In the Name of the Rose" (2012).

His opera recordings include "Vinci: Artaserse" with Concerto Köln, Diego Fasolis, Philippe Jaroussky, Max-Emanuel Cencic, Franco Fagioli, Yuriy Myenko (2012), "Hasse: Didone abbandonata" (2013) and "Vinvi: Catone in Utica" (2015).

With "Hasse Reloaded" (2011), "Pergolesi: Stabat Mater" (2012), "To touch, to kiss, to die" etc. with works by Henry Purcell, John Dowland (2013), "Le belle immagini" with the Hofkapelle Munich (2014), "Caldara" with Nouvo Aspetto (2015), "Sacred Duets" with Nuria Rial and the Basel Chamber Orchestra (2017), "Handel goes wild" with L'Arpeggiata (2017), "Caro Gemello" - Farinelli and Metastasio with Concerto Köln (2018) and the latest CD released by Sony Classical, "Arias-Bach/Telemann" with the Basel Chamber Orchestra (2021), is an impressive testimony to Valer Sabadus' development as a soloist.
