Written by Oscar Wilde as a letter to his lover Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas while incarcerated in Reading Gaol for the crime of being gay in Victorian England, "De Profundis" is Latin for "from the depths" — it comes from the first line of Psalm 130 of the penitential Psalms: "Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord."
A profound work of grief, devotion and repentance, accompanied by a deep musical soundtrack. Feat. The music of J.S. Bach, Arvo Part, Claude Debussy and more.
