Description
Tractus emphasises Arvo Part compositions that blend the timbres of choir and string orchestra, new versions predominate, with focused performances from the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under Tonu Kaljuste's direction that invite alert and concentrated listening. From the opening composition Littlemore Tractus, which takes as its starting point consoling reflections from a sermon by John Henry Newman, the idea of change, transfiguration and renewal resonates, setting a tone for a recording whose character is one of summing up, looking inward, and reconciling with the past.
Compositions included are Littlemore Tractus, Greater Antiphons, Cantique des degres, Sequentia, L'abbe Agathon, These Words... and Veni creator. An evocative reworking of Vater unser for choir, strings and piano concludes this album.
Recorded in Tallinn last year and produced by Manfred Eicher, Tractus extends the line of definitive Arvo Part albums begun on ECM New Series with the epochal Tabula rasa in 1984.
