Sándor Veress presents a captivating journey through time and sound with his album "Psalmus, Elegie & Das Glasklängespiel." Released on January 1, 2014, under the label Musiques Suisses, this album is a testament to Veress's unique compositional style, blending sacred and secular themes with a touch of modernism.
The album opens with "Sancti Augustini psalmus contra partem Donati," a choral work that draws from the writings of St. Augustine, showcasing the depth and richness of Veress's choral writing. The piece is divided into several movements, each exploring different facets of the text, from the powerful "Omnes qui guadetis" to the contemplative "Comparans regnum coelorum."
Following this, the album transitions into "Elegie," a solo piano piece that offers a moment of introspection and lyrical beauty. The second half of the album is dedicated to "Das Glasklängespiel," a suite of pieces inspired by the sounds of glass and bells. This section includes a variety of moods and textures, from the playful "Madrigale I" to the haunting "Corale. Einsame Nacht."
Throughout the album, Veress's mastery of form and harmony is evident, as is his ability to create music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. The album's duration of 66 minutes offers a substantial exploration of Veress's musical world, making it a rewarding listen for those interested in 20th-century classical music.
