Review: Klaus - Glory: An Evening of Worship with Klaus

August 2, 2008

Recorded LIVE at Christ For The Nations Institute, Glory combines well known Klaus songs with some great new tunes.

Klaus was born in Germany and currently lives in Canada with his family. He is a graduate of CFNI and following his graduation he returned to be the morning worship leader there from 2003-2005. Klaus produced two album’s during that time.

In his latest offering, Glory, he teams up with Integrity Music. Fans of Gateway Worship will love this album. Tracks “When I Speak Your Name” and “The Lord Reigns” are also on the latest release from Gateway Worship “Wake up the World“.

Klaus writes or co-writes every track on this album except for “I Give You Glory”

Guest vocalist Kari Jobe is amazing as always. It is a modern piano driven album inspired by his greatest influence Keith Green. It has a similar feel to Michael Neale’s “No Greater Audience“, with it’s modern worshipful sound.

While this album does not break new ground, it is a great addition to your worship collection. There are many songs on this album that could be and should be used in a congregational setting. Most can be tailored to suit any style of church setting as well. Overall I was really impressed with this album, love his voice, and was drawn into worship from the moment track one started.

Go pick this album up if you are a fan of early Passion, Gateway worship, Brian & Jenn Johnson, or Michael Neale.

    Thanks, Joel.

    Klaus was working on his Christmas album back in 2005-2006 when I was mixing “Worship Under the Stars” with Randy Adams at the studio at CFNI (an incredible facility and engineer, I might add) … he was a super nice guy, and a great worship leader as well.

    Just curious if Randy Adams is in the credits? He’s an incredible engineer!
