Musikfestival: Sebastian Heindl - Fenster zur Ewigkeit

In the organizer's words:

It is said that the icons of the Orthodox churches of the East are something like windows to eternity, as they are intended to enable worshippers to come into direct contact with the saints depicted. One icon of sacred music is certainly Johann Sebastian Bach. Sebastian Heindl, a shooting star among German organists and appointed cantor of the Berlin Memorial Church at the age of just 26, sets pieces by this Baroque master in relation to contemporary compositions - including his own - which also open windows. Olivier Messiaen, for example, builds a church of heaven from archaic sounds. Arvo Pärt looks back to the centuries-old tradition of the Catholic mass and Philip Glass works with expanding figurations that could theoretically grow into infinity.
