Strangely hynoptic music February 9, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is mesmerising music which brings the passion of Christ to life. And, yet, any variation in the music seems to be at the micro level only -despite that it is not monotonous. This recording is lovely but the only draw back is that there is only one track, which is fine if your are listening to it on a walkman or mp3 player which will remember where you finished off. But, not if you're main stereo does not have that facility.
The definitive recording December 9, 1999

It is difficult to classify this music so that it would satisfy a review. As a piece of music, its ritualism and staticism may perhaps be too extreme for a casual listener wanting to explore music of this kind. As a piece of Pärt's music, it represents a pinnacle (but not 'the' pinnacle) of his tintinnabuli music, and provides a moving and uplifting experience. As for the recording, it is impossible to fault.
