The main focus on thisnew release from ArvoPärt is the work Adam’sLament, a lyrical text bySilouan of Athos. It’s abeautiful and poetic piecethat sweeps majestically through the auralsenses of the listener. This recording onceagain demonstrates that Pärt is one of thetruly great composers in classical music,and that there are few contemporaries thatcan match him in this compositional style.The Latvian Radio Choir and Vox Clamantisunder Tõnu Kaljuste’s direction areoutstanding. Highly recommended.
