75 minutes of choral symphonics by Assisi's Canticle of the Sun, which impresses with its unique sound coloring and special orchestration. Fascinating moods, jazzy harmony and, in addition to the mixed choir, a children's choir describe the creation hymn of Franz von Assisi in German language.
The composer succeeded in making a mixture of making this immortal prayer, the hymn of praise to creation and nature, popular on the one hand, without losing musical substance and inventiveness on the other. Nordwest-Zeitung.
