5.0 out of 5 stars
A Masterpiece!, August 12, 2009
This review is from: Lukaszewski: Via Crucis (Audio CD)
In short, Lukaszewski's Via Crucis is a masterpiece of modern sacred music. The "Stations of the Cross" uses various compositional styles to represent the actions and characters of the Passion story. The end result is simply stunning, as Lukaszewski even succeeds in "redeeming" various confusing compositional techniques which have marred or ruined many recent large-scale sacred music efforts from much more famous composers.
Somewhere in heaven, Handel is applauding this thoroughly modern work. I cannot recommend this enough.
*Note* -- Definitely listen with the text in front of you the first few times, until you get the organization of the piece in your head.
