Christian Schmitt & Stefan Kurt
Organ plus... trumpet, cello, recitation

The spiritual power of music and words between heaven and earth
The sound of the organ has always been perceived as musical prayer and thus also as a bridge to God. No wonder that many masterpieces refer to biblical texts and spiritual themes. Together with the well-known actor Stefan Kurt, organist and ECHO award winner Christian Schmitt now explores the spiritual expressiveness of organ works from three centuries.
Alternating between music and texts, the programme is dedicated to the divine in music. It ranges from Bach's baroque clarity to Julius Reubke's dramatic psalm setting to Petr Eben's impressive cycle ‘Okna’, which was inspired by the Chagall windows in the Hadassah Clinic in Jerusalem.
