Time & Eternity
Innovative violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Camerata Bern, of which she is artistic director, present a collection of music that spans six hundred years. From the Kyrie of Guillaume de Machaut's 14th-century Messe de Nostre Dameto 20th-century music by Karl Amadeus Hartmann and Frank Martin, the album is a compendium of intense musical experiences, including the despairing (Hartmann’s Concerto funebre, written in response to the rise of the Nazis) and the consolatory (Bach chorales). The album also features prayers recited by priests from several different faiths.
