About "From "Orgelbüchlein": XXIV Choral Prelude "O Mensch, bewein dein' Sünde gross", BWV 622" by Cameron Carpenter
Carpenter draws the Orgelbüchlein chorale into a cavern of grief. The organ's plaintive reed voices unfurl like smoke in a cathedral nave, each phrase heavy with penitence. Bach's Lutheran lament becomes a slow-burning meditation on human frailty, tension coiled between the sustained pedal and the sighing manual lines.
