Julius Berger, Andrei Pushkarev, Pavel Beliaev, Annette Schavan - Warum toben Volker - Psalm in Dialogue with Music by Ernest Bloch

In this very personal recording, Julius Berger (violoncello) and Annette Schavan (recitation) combine Ernest Bloch's music with readings from the Psalms. The Book of Psalms is a common treasure for Jews and Christians to pray and reflect on what shapes our lives. Julius Berger traces the origin of the Greek word Psalmos as a song with string accompaniment. The psalms were also always an important source of inspiration for Bloch; in this recording, his works enter into direct dialog with selected psalm recitations.
