« Paul Hillier’s Theatre of Voices, like the Hilliard Ensemble with whom he was associated before settling in America, have given the music of Arvo Pärt a prominent place in their repertoire. Hillier has also written a book on Pärt [...] he described his first encounter with several of Pärt’s scores, “Something leapt out at me: this was the kind of music I had been waiting to perform”. Many of these works are receiving their first performance on disc and all represent a major contemporary composer at his best. That alone should provide more than enough recommendation for a disc which also contains some excellent choral singing.» (Gramophone, April 1997)
