Description
Vespers for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross (Vesperæ in exaltatione Sanctæ Crucis) by Czarnecki is a composition that is thoroughly imbued with the Christian tradition. It is almost a complete form of the evening breviary prayer of the Catholic Church written in Latin but already according to the post-conciliar liturgy. The present album features a complete recording of the work, dedicated to His Holiness Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
"The long 'Hymnus Vexilla regis' comes early, but it's crucial to the success of the thing: it's done magnificently." – Choir and Organ, 4 Stars
