Classical Music Discoveries

Tractus emphasizes Arvo Pärt's compositions that blend the timbres of string orchestra and choir. New versions predominate, with focused performances from the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under Tõnu 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.
