Info zu Bob Chilcott: Canticles of Light

Der Übergang von der Dunkelheit zum Licht ist ein Thema, das Künstler, Musiker, Philosophen und Denker im Laufe der Zeit immer wieder beschäftigt hat. Dieses Thema, gepaart mit Gedanken der Erinnerung, der Hoffnung, der Erlösung und der Akzeptanz, ist der rote Faden, der sich durch die Aufnahme mit Chorwerken von Bob Chilcott (*1955) zieht. Der 2006 gegründete National Forum of Music Choir unter Agnieszka Franków-Zelazny hat sich schnell als eine führende Kraft in der polnischen Chormusikszene etabliert und erweist sich als denkbar optimaler Vermittler der Musik Chilcotts.
