Description

|
|
|
Early Music legend Paul Hillier directs this world premiere recording of choral settings by Toivo Tulev, a key figure in contemporary Estonian music. Tulev's works are deeply influenced by his study of Gregorian chant, giving them a mystic, incantatory dimension. "The title refers to the nine sumptuous but languid settings from The Song of Solomon, for chorus, soloists, and chamber ensemble. Tulev's orchestrations are astonishingly unconventional but always striking and effective, and his instrumental and choral blend creates gorgeous, original textures. Leave, alas, this tormenting, to a text by Thomas Morley, makes a similar but more ethereal impression….. Performances of crystalline purity and warm sensuality."—All Music Guide "The various choirs and orchestral members are placed within the church in the shape of a crucifix, and the resulting surround sound disc is an aural tour-de-force. Five stars."—Audiophile Audition
