Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir/Paul Hillier - Da Pacem (by Arvo Part)

About as good an interepretation of Arvo Part's work as I've heard over the years, the effect of which comes off as more peaceful / minimalist than some of the other spins I've run across. My favorite aspect of the recording is how the organist is there across pretty much every piece regardless of what movement is happening, very rarely showcased but serving as the foundation for every magnificent surge of choral brilliance. The chords all connect together in a vary natural yet understated fashion, so you could call it an observation of Landini cadence in a traditional setting. Or as we say in South - "that's purdy".

In regards to personal preference, I'm more a Third Stream / ambient jazz kind of guy. But you'd have to have serious issues to rate this thing as anything less than an 8.

Frown?

10 out of 10

Yeah, nothing more to add that hasn't already been said. Very relaxing, immersive music, very grand and sweeping and majestic. Kind of made me feel I was at a mass. Is this a mass? Stirring stuff anyway, and very enjoyable.

9/10

Hmm. Certainly put me in mind of one. Maybe it was all the deep, sonorous organ work.

In case anyone can't find it, this is the Spotify link for the album: https://open.spotify.com/album/58r3ejz6GxgFszg49ZxuKp
Weirdly, it appears twice in the artist discography, completely identical. Must obviously be a mistake.
