Winfried

Cathedral organist Winfried Bönig plays works by Dupré, Barber, Messiaen, Howells on the Klais organs of Cologne Cathedral.

The "Way of the Cross / Chemin de la Croix" by Marcel Dupré is one of the most important compositions of the 20th century for the organ. Although stylistically belonging to the French organ symphonic school, it grows out of it and creates a type of music that has no fixed features as a musical genre: the organ meditation. Here, the "Symphonie-Passion" op. 23 and the "Chemin de la Croix" establish a new type of sacred organ music for France, i.e., music related to biblical events or liturgical words, which was continued by Olivier Messiaen.

With their new album, Cologne soprano Theresa Nelles and cathedral organist Winfried Bönig invite their listeners to an atmospheric Christmas Eve in Cologne Cathedral, performing a rich and varied program of Romantic repertoire from various countries: music for the Christmas feast that goes straight to the heart. Bönig never limits the role of the organ to that of a simple accompanying instrument, but skilfully presents it with all its tonal colors. The great acoustics of the Cologne Cathedral were consciously captured in an impressive way.

Siamo a Varsavia nei primi anni della guerra. Un giorno, un intero quartiere della città viene sgombrato e recinto da un muro: da quel momento, quel quartiere sarà un ghetto. Gli ebrei polacchi che vi sono rinchiusi sono uomini, donne e bambini che non avranno scampo: è l'anticamera di Auschwitz. E c'è chi si rassegna e chi si ribella, chi si contenta di vivere per quel giorno e chi invece lotta per sopravvivere.
