Description
With the double album METAMORPHOSE - NOMINA, Robert M. Helmschrott presents an impressive compilation of central works from his spiritual oeuvre for organ. The recording combines large-scale psalm meditations with personal, partly memorial organ pieces and opens up a multi-layered sound space between contemplation, memory and spiritual reflection. The first part of the album is the cycle Metamorphose - meditations on the psalms De profundis, Ad te, Domine, levavi, Da pacem and Laudate Dominum. Helmschrott understands meditation as a conscious turning towards the essential. His music becomes a place of inner contemplation, in which existential experiences such as lament, hope, trust and joy take shape in sound. From Gregorian-inspired phrases to eruptive clusters of sound, a dense, symbolic tonal language unfolds.
