Tenor Richard Resch presents a moving Christmas album that explores the season’s deeper meaning through sacred and folk music. Named after Jochen Klepper’s powerful Advent hymn, the album traces the symbolic journey from darkness to light, weaving together Baroque masterpieces, traditional carols, and lesser-known gems from across Europe. With works by Rosenmüller, Briegel, Graupner, Buxtehude, and others, the recording offers a musical meditation on hope, faith, and the light born at Christmas. Highlights include the mystical Maria durch ein Dornwald ging, the Byzantine chant Miladuka, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Von guten Mächten—a testament to trust in the darkest of times. For Richard Resch and his ensemble, this album is both personal and profound. “These pieces remind us that Christmas is not just a tradition—it’s a message of light in the midst of night.”
