Estonian composer Arvo Pärt (b. 1935) is among the most successful composers of today. His timeless and deeply spiritual music that combines elements from the past centuries have touched countless listeners. This release features eight choral works by the composer performed by the prestigious Latvian Radio Choir under Sigvards Klava. The Latvian Radio Choir is one of the leading choirs in northern Europe. Their recording of Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil was nominated for the Gramophone Awards in 2013.
"From the outset, Sigvards Klava draws a robust, blended sound from his 24 singers…the two narrative motets on texts from the Gospel of St Matthew, The Woman with the Alabaster Box and Tribute to Caesar, stand out for their integrity and beauty" Gramophone
"Marvellous throughout. I can't imagine this music better sung." (MusicWeb)
