Ebenbild weaves the story of a famous tune into one endlessly braided volume. Music and language, old and new, original and variations, form a continuous narrative.

There are melodies that accompany us throughout our lives. They are twisted and turned, they can inspire, give hope or consolation. For Johann Sebastian Bach, it was a simple hymn: O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden. He used that melody again and again, in various settings, in some of his greatest works. It runs throughout his life like a connecting thread, as it does in this concept album: Ebenbild is a continuous narrative that blurs the boundaries of musical genres and those between music and language.

“Entirely in the spirit of romantic charm and French elegance, the 4 Preludes to Infinity from 2013 by the Dutchman Theo Verbey [1959–2019] awakens the longing for the past as well as for the future.”
