Notes & Reviews	Back to Top

PASSIO "An ascetic spiritual journey, pared to the musical bone but extraordinarily powerful. Fine singing and first-rate sound." --Rob Cowan, Gramophone BERLINER MESSE, MAGNIFICAT, SUMMA "These highly accomplished performers...catch the essential Pärt with imagination and technical security...Excellent, committed performances." --Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb International TABULA RASA, SYMPHONY NO 3, COLLAGE "The performances...are absolutely first rate, particularly from the two violinists in Tabula Rasa, Leslie Hatfield and Rebecca Hirsch. Credit also goes to the Ulster Orchestra and conductor Takuo Yuasa who take to all three pieces with both care for the written score and flair for the particular style...No one's collection of 20th century music should be without this performance of Tabula Rasa." --Paul Cook, ClassicsToday.com TRIODION, TRIBUTE TO CEASAR, NUNC DIMITTIS "Exquisite also describes the performances of the Elora Festival Singers, who provide pure-toned and texturally beautiful singing under Noel Edison's direction. Naxos' recording is spacious and well-detailed, with wide dynamics. A truly enjoyable hour of music, essential for Pärt aficionados and choral enthusiasts." --Victor Carr Jr, ClassicsToday.com
