Composer’s Studio – 9/13/20 – Richard Danielpour

At just 19 years old, Grammy award winning Iranian American composer Richard Danielpour had a mystical experience that left him awed and shaken, but with new clarity in his faith and life’s purpose as a composer. His powerful and deeply spiritual music made him one of the most beloved and recorded composers of his generation. On this episode of CS, Richard Danielpour joins Tarik and Anna to tell his story and share some of his favorite moments from the new Naxos recording of this monumental work, The Passion of Yeshua, an oratorio written in both Hebrew and English. Special thanks to Naxos Records and Bill Holab and Lean Kat Music (BMI) for allowing us to play this recording.
