Gabor Benda tells us “The first time I was touched by the story of Jesus was in my early childhood in elementary school at about the age of six. I remember we had a wise, elderly and very elegant Bible class teacher. She spoke about five languages and often read to us from foreign books, not only translating but simplifying themes as well. Somehow, she was always able to connect these different books, these different tales to Jesus; through his teachings and deeds.

Once, during a school event I played J.S. Bach’s Prelude in C minor (BWV 999). I had a terrible stage fright, after all the whole school was watching, and it was my first public performance. My teacher was really touched by my humble piano playing and said that I played the keys like Jesus walked on water. She told me that Bach is the most important composer in music history and the closest person to God, the closest person to Jesus. At that moment somehow, I understood at this very young age that our whole cultural existence is based upon the existence of Jesus Christ: music, literature, fine arts; everything is connected to him.

From that moment J.S. Bach became my favorite composer. The way his melodies, his polyphonous leads develop in his compositions is like a never-ending energy that moves nature; as the leaves grow on trees and die and grow again in an infinitive circle in a time-lapse video recording. His music imitates the whole eternal cycle of life that is being triggered by an irresistible outside force.

This is the essential moving force I wanted to represent in my music. Not to imitate Bach but to follow the substantive nature of things that Bach followed and tell stories to modern humankind in a traditional way through an up-to-date language.”

4 reviews for The Story Of Jesus [Pure DSD]

    Dynamically the album provides a unique sound experience! The music tracks are a fascinating experience and managed to touch me spiritually. I can recommend it to everyone!

    Good

    I want to thank the artist for this experience. As a religious person, I’m always seeking religious, modern classical music and I must say this album combines everything I was looking for.

    Finally here is a piece that doesn’t want to be a modern Bach implementation or a remake, rather a completely new masterpiece piano solo. The artist tells us the story of Jesus with his own words, through a unique, and refreshing journey embedded in its twelve movements of the album.

    The quality is excellent. Thank you again!

    The recording is perfect. Such clarity. The emotional depth surpasses even that. I’ve grown to love this one. Bravo!!!!
