ideo from the recording of Kim André Arnesen's MAGNIFICAT released by 2L on Hybrid SACD + Pure Audio Blu-ray, featuring 9.1 Auro-3D in addition to 5.1 surround and stereo. Nominated for the 58th GRAMMY Awards 2015 "Best Surround Sound Album".

The Magnificat is the Virgin Mary’s song of praise to God after one of the Bible’s greatest wonders: the angel Gabriel visiting her with the message that she is to be the mother of God’s son. In his setting Kim André Arnesen expresses the feelings Mary must have felt: wonder, devotion, gratitude, joy, humility, hope and compassion. God’s selection of an unknown woman living in poverty to be the mother of His son is a bottom-up view of the world if ever there was one – and Arnesen sees the Magnificat as offering support and hope for all people struggling against adversity or in need of strength. 

Musica Celestis portrays the ceaseless praising of God by angels in heaven. Aaron Jay Kernis builds his work around a fairly simple melody which he remoulds in a series of variations. 

The intensely beautiful and mostly barren Hardangervidda mountain plateau inspired Ola Gjeilo to write Tundra, while his Song of the Universal expresses unabashed optimism, exuberance and poet Walt Whitman’s unwavering confidence in our deeper humanity – all through the prism of a big, warm, beating heart.

Det er den nordiske jul med sneklædte fjelde og dybfrosne fjorde, som folder sig ud i Kim André Arnesens Magnificat for sopran, kor og orkester. Værket indeholder et smukt og rørende udtryk for empati, menneskelighed og medfølelse. Arnesen skildrer gennem musikken Jomfru Marias reaktion og lovsang, da hun modtager budskabet om, at hun skal føde et barn i en stald i Betlehem. Derfor bliver værket til et gribende udtryk for glæden og taknemmeligheden over det, som julen handler om.

Som solosopran medvirker Tessa Kiilsholm, der også er solist i to stemningsfulde værker af Mozart og Schubert. Nordisk Vokalensemble, der består af 25 lyse stemmer, synger desuden den franske Maurice Durufles ”Tota pulchra es” og den danske John Frandsens ”Hvor herligt dit navn” for kor og orkester. David Riddell dirigerer.
