About This Recording

This production of Ave Maria unites the melodic beauty of the Bach-Gounod composition with a contemporary sonic sensibility. At its centre is a male soloist whose warm, clear voice carries the familiar melody with depth and expression. A sensitive piano performance provides the harmonic foundation, complemented by strings, harp, flute, and violin that expand the arrangement into a richly layered orchestral work. A subtle percussive underpinning lends the composition a gentle rhythmic structure without disturbing its meditative character. Produced by Paul Lorenz and performed by Josh, this recording bridges sacred tradition and modern production quality. Mastered to broadcast standard at 44.1 kHz WAV quality, released through Edition Zeitlos / 24music (ISRC: FR-X76-21-61595).
