4.0 out of 5 stars
Fine shorter pieces, January 6, 2002
This review is from: Sacred Music by John Tavener (Audio CD)
This could be a good first choice for someone looking to try the music of John Tavener. Most of the selections are available on other CDs. However, it contains two or three comparative rarities -- "The Uncreated Eros," a setting of Genesis 2:21-23, 25, which has a quality of hushed mystery, and a setting of George Herbert's "Love Bade Me Welcome" (which Ralph Vaughan Williams also set to music, including it in the Five Mystical Songs). I have around 20 Tavener CDs, and this is one of the ones I turn to most often.
