Christian Löffler - Dir Jehova

Dir Jehova’ a J.S. Bach rework by Christian Löffler, from the album ‘Parallels’
Video directed by Matías Montecinos

In 2020 Christian was invited by iconic classical record label Deutsche Grammophon to rework tracks by some of the greatest composers who ever lived, including J.S. Bach, Beethoven and Chopin. For some of the composers he chose to rework a magnum opus, while for others he unearthed lesser-known compositions. Bach’s “Dir Jehova”, performed by the men and boys of the choir of St Thomas’s in Leipzig, was one of the recordings that immediately caught Löffler’s attention. “The performance of the Thomanerchor is just breathtaking,” he notes. “I knew from the first listen that this would work very well with my music.”

Friday Focus

Well, I am back from my jaunts to Sheerness and Gravesend. And it has been a lovely warm spring day as well!

Plus I have new music to listen to as well!

Martin Jones 4CD set of Karol Szymanowski's Piano Music and that Boulez 4CD set on Erato.

I also took a pic whilst I crossed the water that separates Kent form the island of Sheppey. This was taken from the train on the rail bridge with the A249 road bridge next to it,



A glorious 15C today! Spring at last!!

The Friday Five

1. Would you rather have the unpredictability of live theatre or the predictability of a movie?

2. Do you prefer the symphony and/or opera to a live band or the other way around?

3. When you go to a museum, where do you head first?

4. Would you prefer a pub crawl or a sampling of beer or wine in one restaurant?

5. When you visit a new place, what is the first thing you like to visit – something recommended by a travel agency/travel book or something recommended by a friend?
