NDR Chor / Philipp Ahmann »Visionen«
Lux aeterna
Visions may reveal realms of bliss or an apocalyptic abyss. In the biblical Book of Psalms both extremes are represented, inspiring composers again and again to set these primordially poetic texts to music. The North German Radio (NDR) Choir with choirmaster Philipp Ahmann sets out on a journey through the centuries.
