Francis Pott - Christus (LP)

Francis Pott's "Christus" is a profound and evocative Passion Symphony for Organ, recorded live and released on Priory Records in 2017. This choral and chamber music masterpiece spans over two hours and nineteen minutes, offering an immersive journey through the life of Christ, from the Logos to the Resurrection. Pott's composition is a powerful exploration of faith and spirituality, blending requiem-like elements with the grandeur of a symphony. Each of the five movements—Logos, Gethsemane, Via Crucis, Viaticum, and Resurrectio—delves into different aspects of the Passion narrative, showcasing Pott's mastery of both choral and organ music. The live recording captures the raw intensity and emotional depth of the performance, making it a standout work in the realm of contemporary classical music.
