About

The calendar year 2023 marks the 90th birthday of Krzysztof Penderecki (1933–2020), one of the most prominent 21st Century Polish composers. Sacred themes and texts surround the creative work of Penderecki, including many of his large-scale works. This album consists the majority of his impressive sacred a cappella choral works which are mainly written in Latin. These deeply religious choral works are modern classics which will, no doubt, remain in the choral repertoire for years to come.

“…This coherent album, stripped down but never austere, is performed with clarity, purity and limpidity by the remarkable Latvian Radio Choir …”

“… These works have rarely received such lovingly committed performances…”

Christopher Dingle – BBC Music magazine – January 2024

“…The choir is particularly radiant when the music touches the mystical, transcendental level and vibrates from within. Sigvards Klava and his ensemble allow the sound and words a great deal of space to take shape here, formulating heartfelt prayers, calling for pause and reflection.” *****

Guy Engels – Pizzicato.lu – 13 November 2023
