With her new album, Angela Metzger presents a program that focuses on the metaphor of light and darkness. Works by Louis Vierne, Philipp Maintz, Herbert Howells and Max Reger unfold a panorama of timbres and forms of expression – from dazzling virtuosity to colourful chorale arrangements and monumental power. The recording was made on the three-part Eule organ with free-hanging towers in Trier's Basilica of Constantine, an instrument whose design adapts to the monumental space and at the same time unfolds orchestral colourfulness. Vierne celebrates light in his "Hymne au soleil" and in the "Feux follets", Maintz opens up new perspectives with two chorale preludes – both here as premiere recordings – Howells combines consolation with tonal depth in his "Psalm Preludes", and Reger leads us out of darkness to light with powerful chorale arrangements.
