Cyrillus Kreek - The Suspended Harp of Babel

"The Floating Harp of Babel" was recorded in August 2018 at the Transfiguration Church in Tallinn. Under the direction of Jaan-Eik Tulve, the choir Vox Clamantis offers impressive interpretations of the choral works of the Estonian composer Cyrillus Kreek (1889-1962). This special album unites Kreek's elegant settings of psalms and folk songs with instrumental fantasias and interludes composed specifically for this recording by Marco Ambrosini. The choir Vox Clamantis, already renowned for its ECM recordings of works by Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür, Helena Tulve, and Gregorian chants, proves itself a perfect interpreter of Kreek's vocal music.
