Arvo Pärt: Odes of Repentance

Cappella Romana is an ideal match for Pärt’s sacred music.

Cappella Romana is an ideal match for Pärt’s sacred music. The album feels like a timeless liturgical service, the elegant leanness of its musical language kept in aesthetic tension and given additional meaning by the ritual lyrics and frequent short pauses for silent reflection.
