Format:Audio CD
I discovered this music via a programme advert on BBC television- most people will have seen it. It is a wonderful piece which builds to gripping emotional heights- a rare thing indeed. The second CD presents choral music recorded in Winchester cathedral.I was disappointed with the rather distant sound- probably swamped by the cathedral acoustic. I think the sound engineer could have improved things in this case and enabled a five star rating.

I have to say I haven't got Tavener until now. I have been put off by the Classic FM easy listening tag. However this varied compilation gives a much better overview of what he is about - simple rather than bland.
