It is the greatest thing I wrote not made "Gustav Mahler after completion of his eighth symphony. So far not only the gigantic apparatus of singers and instrumentalists was meant to prescribe the score, but also the idea that is here made to sound. In the comparison of the Pentecost hymn "Veni Creator Spiritus" with the final scene from Goethe's "Faust II" is a close spiritual relationship between art and religion expressed the approach to the idea of heavenly love from different spiritual sources.
With a live recording of 27 March 2010 from the Vienna Konzerthaus, was successful in the gigantic work to ban on recorded music. Particularly attractive to win this recording by a first-class soloists ranks with the likes of Johan Botha, Jane Henschel and Kwangchoul Youn. Bertrand de Billy proves again his ability to even the largest ensemble of finely tuned, flexible music-making to guide.
