About
Estonian vocal ensemble Vox Clamantis and their leader Jaan-Eik Tulve have established themselves among the leading interpreters of Arvo Pärt’s music over a quarter-century of close collaboration with the composer – a relationship that builds on the almost half a decade long artistic partnership between Pärt and producer Manfred Eicher. Of the ensemble’s ECM New Series recording The Deer’s Cry, the BBC Music Magazine wrote that “the level of artistry necessary to achieve the kind of living, breathing performance given here by Vox Clamantis is a rarity ... This grippingly authentic and superbly sung collection may now be the finest single-disc introduction to Pärt’s music.” And I heard a voice, recorded in Haapsalu Cathedral, Estonia, and released as Arvo Pärt turns 90, shows that the rapport between choir and composer, rooted in a shared feeling for both ancient plainchant and contemporary music, continues to deepen.

It's clear within minutes of this recording that Vox Clamantis are a leading interpreter of Pärt's music. They breathe it; they live it...Their tuning is so locked in that it produces an overtone-like effect as it hangs in the air. Nothing is glossed over Pärt's genius harmonic writing is delivered at its very best.
10th September 2025
Such is Part’s mastery of his chosen tools that constant revelations occur, from the blazing major chords in his Nunc Dimittis to the ineffable peace radiating from the Kleine Litanei. The icing on the cake is the choir’s intensity and pitch-perfect glow. Here is an album that takes your head to another place, and a better one.
