A Czech composer deeply marked by his Catholic faith and the experience of totalitarianism, Petr Eben composed powerful and committed works for the organ. His cycle "Job" for organ and narrator and his "Windows" after Marc Chagall for trumpet and organ bear witness to an intense spirituality and an original language.
