Arvo Pärt: Triodion on Super Audio CD
Triodion
The SACD uses a higher digital resolution than the audio CD and also offers the possibility to store multi-channel sound (surround sound). To enjoy the music in high-end quality, a special SACD player is required. Thanks to the hybrid function, most of the products marked "SACD" in our store can also be played on conventional CD players. In this case, however, the sound does not differ from that of a normal CD. In case of deviations, we point this out separately (non-hybrid).
Let our eCourier notify you if the product can be ordered.

Product-Information:
A new release from Polyphony, with Stephen Layton at the helm, always brings with it an assurance of singing of the highest possible calibre. Bring together a choir of such quality and the composer responsible for some of the most beautiful, transcendent music ever written, and the resultant disc is surely what must be one of, if not the most spectacular releases of the year.
New works from Arvo Pärt are invariably cherished, and this disc contains no fewer than five world premiere recordings—Dopo la vittoria, Nunc dimittis, Littlemore Tractus, My heart's in the Highlands and Salve Regina. It was recorded in the presence of the enraptured composer earlier this year at the Temple Church, London.
This is a disc of achingly lovely music at its most mesmeric—prepare to be stunned.
Rezensionen
'ought to sell by the bucket-load' (Editor, BBC Music Magazine)
'Layton's superb choir responds eagerly to the different challenges of the various choral traditions from which these pieces derive' (The Sunday Times - 'The Month' CD-Rom)
'Polyphony give meticulous performances ... Perhaps the most powerful piece is the haunting Burns setting for countertenor, My Heart's in the Highlands, beautifully performed by David James and Christopher Bowers-Broadbent' (The Sunday Times, Culture)
'Only the most pure and precise of choral groups can raise Arvo Pärt's work to its optimum level of expression. Polyphony and its conductor Stephen Layton make ideal interpreters' (Financial Times)
Reviews
klassik-heute.com: "Wenn eine derartige Andachtshaltung - fern von jedem Klangaktionismus und das genaue Gegenteil harmonisch üppiger Szenenwechsel - hier eine außerordentlich vergeistigte Gestaltung erlebt, dann ist das nur durch eine nicht hoch genug einzuschätzende Interpretenleistung zu erreichen." FonoForum 05/04: "Mit seinem ebenso glasklaren wie homogenen, von knabenhaft schlanken Sopranen und markigen Bässen äußerst stabil gerahmten Klangbild vermag der Kammerchor Polyphony einerseits die Tugenden der britischen Chortradition beispielhaft in sich zu vereinen und findet andererseits zu einer fein nuancierten Darbietung, deren fortwährendes organisches Fließen dem Gestus der Musik in idealer Weise entspricht."Disk 1 von 1 (SACD)
