Each piece is performed with exquisite precision and sensitivity by The Tallis Scholars, conducted by Peter Phillips, bringing out the subtle nuances and profound spirituality of Pärt's music.
With a duration of just over an hour, this album offers a profound listening experience, inviting you to delve into the intricate layers of Pärt's compositions. The use of Latin and biblical texts adds a timeless quality to the music, making it a timeless addition to any classical music collection.
