John Tavener describes his music as resembling ‘ikons in sound’ – a window on to the Divine world. The British conductor and composer James Whitbourn conducts the London-based ensemble The Choir in a programme of Tavener’s hauntingly beautiful unaccompanied choral music in performances described as “impressive and spiritual”. ‘The power of the performances is overwhelming and the credit goes to James Whitbourn and his vocal ensemble The Choir’ / The Organ Track 1 The Lamb Track 2 Magnificat Track 3 Nunc dimittis Track 4 A Hymn to the Mother of God Track 5 Song for Athene Track 6 Annunciation Track 7 A parting gift for Tam Farrow Track 8 As one who has slept Track 9 The Tyger Track 10 The Hymn of the Unwaning Light Track 11 The Lord's Prayer The Choir Conductor: James Whitbourn
