A MUSICAL JOURNEY BETWEEN COMFORT AND TRANSCENDENCE
When choral singing, the meditative timelessness of Arvo Pärt, and Mozart’s Requiem meet, To Paradise creates a powerful soundscape between supplication, comfort, and transcendence.
Filmed at the Sala Sinfónica of the Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid, the concert production combines works by Mozart and Bach with contemporary spirituality through the music of Arvo Pärt and Knut Nystedt’s Bach transformation.
Directed by Volker Werner and conducted by Heinz Ferlesch, the production features soprano Miriam Kutrowatz together with the Barucco Orchestra and Barucco Choir. “To Paradise” is a co-production by ORF III, RTVE and Scarlatti Arts in association with ORF-Enterprise.
The concert is distributed worldwide by ORF-Enterprise.
To Paradise is a concert film from Madrid’s Auditorio Nacional de Música, creating a meditative, timeless soundscape of supplication, comfort and transcendence. The programme combines central works of the European music tradition with contemporary spirituality and a compelling Bach transformation by Knut Nystedt.
