Amazing choral music from Russian composer Alfred Schnittke, who is best known for his 9 symphonies and his series of neo-baroque Concerti Grossi. The Concerto for Choir is one of the most incredible a capella choral pieces I've ever heard, and the Swedish Radio Choir does a wonderful job with it.
Also included, little known choral settings from the 90's by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, which also offer a lot of surprises and beautiful moments.
This disc is truly one of the best I have to offer, so git on it!
Thank you very much for this jewel ^_^ this is the most haunting music i've ever heard
