John Tavener - Song of the Angel

Song of the Angel (1995)

Patricia Rozario (soprano), Andrew Manze (violin).

*From the Harmonia Mundi CD "Eternity's Sunrise" (1999).

In the CD's booklet, Tavener explains: "This music should be sung and played with a restrained ecstasy. It should not bring pounding of the heart, nor should it lead to melancholy. Like all the music of the East, it should reveal in tranquility an eternal, angelic, ecstatic breath which liberates and humanises."

Thank you, thank you. I'm not even religious but I can wholly relate to Sir Tavener's mysticism and sense of awe at the story of Christ.
