This collection of Bernd Wilden's sacred works is a

great testament to the music of our time. His music

draws it's archaic power from Gregorian chant, which

he moulds with dramatic flair and an acute eye for

tone colour. Immediately moving and transcendental

in it's grandiose climaxes, this is authentic music "on

par with Richard Strauss and Igor Stravinsky", as one

critic observed.
