Customer Reviews:
Tavener at his best.......2004-04-10
I have been listening to Tavener for ten years, and the central section of "Ikon of Light," a prayer to God the Holy Spirit, remains, for me, one of Tavener's most fine works. The whole composition does a much better job, it seems to me, of expressing a longing for the true God, than the multicultural farrago of Ikon of Eros.
The CD includes the delightful "Today the Virgin" and other fine pieces.
I own nearly 30 Tavener CDs. This, Isserlis's recording of The Protecting Veil, and Thunder Entered Her, are perhaps my favorites. Cherish them -- Tavener apparently has lost his first love.
