Over het album
• Mr. Tavener considered “The Veil of the Temple” to be his supreme achievement, the greatest work he'd ever composed.
• This set captures the key-moments of this epic 7-hour work, composed to last through the night until dawn in the manner of the grand vigils of the Orthodox Church.
• Re-released to coincide with John Tavener's 75th year in 2014. With the recent passing of composer John Tavener, this release takes on greatly added importance.
• Conductor Stephen Layton directed the proceedings.
