Salvation is Created

Daniel Pioro’s programme, framed by the haunting sounds of David Lang’s mystery sonatas and Abbess Hildegard’s antiphon to the eternal God, speaks to the deep human need for reassurance that, in divine words reported by Julian of Norwich, ‘all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well’. He is joined by David Gordon and Jonas Nordberg in Biber’s meditations on the agony of Christ’s Passion and his defeat on the cross, necessary conditions for the resurrection that followed.
