  • Description

    This album is the result of years of artistic friendship between Maze and Denis Rouger and bears witness to the special musical connection between the singers of the chamber choir and this versatile composer.

    The CD features works such as Trois Choeurs mystiques and psalm settings that impress with their timelessness and spirituality. Maze's compositions cannot be pinned down to a single style - sometimes accessible and simple, sometimes expressive and provocative, they always reflect a deep inspiration and reflective power.

    Inspired by liturgical, biblical and poetic texts, his works create a sound space that stimulates reflection and touches the soul. You can look forward to impressive works such as the Mass a double choeur, as well as the tonally and rhythmically demanding psalm setting Psalm 8. Solo highlights, including the tenor Martin Hohler and the baritone Georg Benz, further enrich the recording. The CD reflects the artistic joy and dedication that figure humaine feels when rehearsing and performing Maze's works.

    With this recording, Maze celebrates his 70th birthday and invites us on a musical journey through the phases of his life and compositional worlds. The extraordinary versatility of the choir and its soloists under the direction of Denis Rouger lends Maze's multi-layered compositions a special tonal colour and makes this recording a valuable contribution to European choral literature.
