"Festina lente, for string orchestra, is one of Part's most exquisitely bell-like scores, and the Philharmonia here play it beautifully...The short Summa is properly a setting of the Creed for four voices...Jarvi's new version is an arrangement for strings." (Gramophone)
"Festina lente, for string orchestra, is one of Part's most exquisitely bell-like scores, and the Philharmonia here play it beautifully...The short Summa is properly a setting of the Creed for four voices...Jarvi's new version is an arrangement for strings. Fratres also exists in more than one incarnation. Two other realizations, respectively for 12 cellos or for violin and piano, are available on ECM ((CD) 817 764-2). Now we have a third arrangement, for string orchestra. To my mind this is the most effective yet, and it has the advantage of including all nine of the intended variations. This track is probably the record's best selling-point."
