This is a wonderful recording, which gives the music the space and time it needs. The first track, De Profundis, is a masterpiece, and makes the whole disc worth it on its own. There is some truly amazing singing here - from the way De Profundis builds up and then comes down again to the measured solos in And One Of The Pharisees. Rounding the whole disc off with the magnificent Magnificat makes this one of the greatest bargains you are ever likely to find

This cd is without doubt worth it for the first track as mentioned, it is has such a satisfyingly beautiful rhythmic quality, and the same time a very dark but powerful atmosphere. The rest of the tracks become more and more interesting and minimalist, as the coagulation of male and female voices work around each other. Summa, is also a beautiful piece, with a very light and joyous tone. Part is my favourite choral composer at the moment, and listeners to this cd may like John Taveners work too, as he and Part have worked together several times.

Power and Grace
10 Jan 2002
Format:Audio CD
Hillier's Theatre of Voices gives an absolutely wonderful rendering of Pärt's work. The music is amazing, recalling medieval choral music as well as contemporary ideas in musical composition. Pärt manages to touch on a wide range of feeling throughout all of these compositions, conveying emotion while maintaining the kind of austerity of sound found in medieval chant. Ultimately, the CD provides a moving and enjoyable listening experience. I would recommend it to both seasoned fans of choral music and neophytes alike.

Rich, lovely, unmatched music
23 July 2001
Format:Audio CD
This music is gorgeous, whether you think you like choral music or not.
The first time I heard Arvo Part, I was browsing in a music store and stopped to listen with a pair of crummy headphones. The sounds and tone drew me into another world, one made lovely by the rich and carefully-worked composition of a master.
The recording is perfect. The music is like nothing else I've heard, more deeply-felt and inspiring than anything I'm familiar with. I would not call myself a fan of choruses, but Part's work is extraordinary.

Beautiful and Profound
6 Feb 2004
Format:Audio CD
I picked up this wonderful gem on a whim. As sacristan for my Jesuit university campus ministry, I was looking for good and movintg religious music. This surpasses anything being marketed as "liturgical" music for churches.
Part creates music that is beatiful, moving and profound. It transported me to another world; it is a deeply moving experience. Some of these tracks have already become my favorite works of musical art as well as meditative prayers.
