door Rudolf Werthen dirigent van The Orchestra of Flanders I Fiamminghi, Flanders Fiamminghi Orchestra.
Tavener is a talented composer from Britain who is influenced by Orthodox Christian spirituality. "Last Sleep of the Virgin" is based on a Russian Orthodox hymn and uses a string orchestra and handbells. The combination produces an ethereal and contemplative mood. At first hearing one might be tempted to label this New-Age-style music.
