In ”Bright as Crystal”, Swedish composer Stefan Klaverdal offers a radiant and deeply personal contribution to the contemporary choral canon. Performed by the exceptional Vocal Ensemble VOS under the direction of Robert Bennesh, this album blends sacred tradition with modern soundscapes in a shimmering dialogue between the past and present.
Some tracks were composed to celebrate the 900th anniversary of Lund Cathedral, and the works on this album resonate with centuries of sacred music while embracing a distinctly modern voice. Klaverdal’s style moves effortlessly between minimalistic clarity and romantic warmth, echoing influences from American minimalism, Eric Whitacre, and Morten Lauridsen, as well as the spiritual depth of Arvo Pärt and the lush harmonies of Sergei Rachmaninov.
The music — alternating between a cappella purity and subtle electronic textures — creates an immersive sound world where light, space, and reverence converge. At its core, ”Bright as Crystal” is a reflection on time, silence, and the organic beauty of the human voice in communion.
This is not just a recording — it is a sonic architecture of devotion, crafted for both the sacred space and the contemplative listener.
