“Alexander Lingas and his expert voices lovingly, artfully, and deeply devotionally induce a meditative state that evokes deliverance and optimism: an intensely intimate, centred, ego-suppressing sequence, centred on The Woman with the Alabaster Box, balm to ear and soul. Don’t expect their trademark twists of Byzantine chant; here is pure Pärt, his sublime, distilled simplicity requiring and receiving total technical and emotional commitment.”
