Sorry, I'll tell you about myself!
In the past, I have sung in the choir singer amateur Berlioz Requiem Mass (with a chef, a professional soloists and orchestra). Throughout the interpretation (but especially for the Dies Irae), I felt m was lifted and carried away by a vital musical force, we expressed all humanity, an evidence that life is stronger than everything.
At the Te Deum listening to Arvo Part, same impression as Berlioz's death mass.
M You have understood: You must buy this CD, because this music will touch you.
Then move to the Magnificat of Arvo Part.
J once heard a radio presenter Classic express it Magnificat was a summit of the twentieth century as Bach's Magnificat for the XVII century.
I assure you, he was right, you no longer will be the (or) even after listening to the Magnificat of Arvo Part tuned as after that of Bach.
I have not yet heard the other works on this CD, story writing (can be) another glowing review ....
Yes the majority of the works of Arvo Part were inspired the most beautiful texts of Christianity (Protestant and Catholic). As JS Bach? I still think that the comparison can be made: Arvo Part is a popular composer, his language is simple and goes to the essentials: an apparent simplicity but also a formidable talent for dealing with the canons of serial music, it takes a couple talents like Bach (listen to the Kyrie of the Mass in Bach which complexity and apparent simplicity yet what!).
Then buy this CD, I beg you.
