"Another excellent set from Paul Hillier and his remarkable Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir. They are in splendid form in Arvo Pärt's collection of new works, unfailingly inventive sacred pieces. Small wonder that Hillier is on the same wavelength as the Estonian composer - he wrote his biography."
Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine Awards Issue 2006
"The Estonian Chamber Choir under Paul Hillier sings everything with near miraculous precision and delicate dedication… an aural delight." BBC Music

Nine sacred pieces by Arvo Part including some of his newest compositions, alongside works from earlier in his career. Part's longtime collaborator and biographer Paul Hillier leads the Estonian Philharmonic Chmaber Choir and organist Christopher Bowers-Broadbent in a third recording devoted to the Estonian composer.
"Hillier's interpretations are about as definitive as you can get."
