{"product_id":"ikos-choral-music-by-gorecki-tavener-part","title":"Ikos: Choral Music by Górecki, Tavener, Pärt","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThis CD intersperses, to wonderful effect, famous and beautifully sung plainchant melodies such as \"Ave Maris Stella\" and \"Alma Redemptoris Mater\" with sacred music by three well-known New Mystic composers. Górecki's \"Totus Tuus,\" with its constant repetition of \"Maria\", may get tiresome; but \"Amen\" (setting only the one word) is gripping throughout. Pärt is represented by his austere, oddly tense \"Magnificat\" and an unusually warm setting of the Beatitudes, which ends with a surprisingly florid organ solo. Tavener's giddy \"Magnificat\" and serene \"Nunc Dimittis\" are luminous; his \"Funeral Ikos\" sets an extraordinary Orthodox funeral text to a plain, heartbreaking melody. The gorgeous singing of the King's choir under Stephen Cleobury outshines even that of Sir David Willcocks's glory days. --Matthew Westphal\n\nProduct description\n\nTrack Listings 1.
