Jenny Oaks Baker - Redeemer - Deluxe Edition CD (Deluxe Edition)

This classical masterpiece is a glorious celebration of the pivotal moments in Jesus Christ's life. The original The Redeemer album was released in 2022. It began as a ten-song album for violin, orchestra, and choir. After performing the music live, Grammy-nominated violinist Jenny Oaks Baker and her longtime collaborator, Emmy-award winning composer, arranger and producer, Kurt Bestor, felt inspired to expand the project to highlight the most pivotal episodes of the Savior's life. They chose either beloved hymns or original melodies to highlight each of these episodes, taking it from 10 tracks to 19 tracks and 78 minutes of music. For this Deluxe Edition, Kurt composed eight additional movements to highlight more of the Savior's life and mission (including a gorgeous original baptism movement and a gloriously rearranged Hallelujah Chorus movement to represent the Ascension). His masterful work brings together the perfect elements of additional choir, vocal soloist parts, and orchestra additions, to maximize the production's emotional impact. The album features inspired brilliant reworkings of three classical masterpieces-Gounod's "O Divine Redeemer" and two selections from Handel's Messiah. Kurt also created emotional and stunning new original compositions for this edition including "Gethsemane: From Every Pore" and "Spirit World: In Paradiso." Jenny's words sum up her desire in creating this project; "I hope that this Deluxe Edition brings everyone who experiences it closer to the Savior."
