Notes

[edit]

Amor Aeternus was recorded mostly inBulgaria andBelgium, but as well inMorocco andSouth Africa.
It was the fourth album on which Lens worked with the Americansoprano Claron McFadden.
According to the critics with this work Lens is slowly leaving the path oftonality of his earlier work. Some regret that he changed his style to a more severe and complex approach, others find this interesting and believe Lens' style is more evolving towardsoperatic,contemporary-theatrical creations.
The live-version, published by Schott Music (Mainz, New York) did not premiere yet.
