When choral singing, the meditative timelessness of Arvo Pärt, and Mozart’s Requiem meet, a concert evening is created that does not “explain” but has an immediate effect: a soundscape between supplication, comfort, and transcendence. “TO PARADISE” is a high-quality TV concert production from the Sala Sinfónica of the Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid. The program combines central works of the European music tradition (Mozart, Bach) with contemporary spirituality (Arvo Pärt) and a compelling Bach transformation by Knut Nystedt.
