"BR Klassik collected performances of its Bavarian Radio Chorus and the Munich Radio Orchestra (the little sister of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra) from between 2000 and 2011 and has turned them into an attractive sampler of the Estonian composer's nouveau-sacred choral music, plus two instrumental works ... Despite the 11-year span of these live recordings and four different churches used as locations, the album's aural impression is uniform, the sound very good, and the singing crisp and up to the high standards of this phenomenal professional chorus. The unaccompanied Seven Magnificat Antiphons, led by Peter Dijkstra, are specifically excellent. Reference-quality, in fact".

"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "I've heard several fine performances of [the Sieben Magnificat-Antiphonen] in the past but I fancy this present recording may well be the best I've ever experienced .... These are absolutely outstanding performances. The singing is beyond reproach and the Tallis Scholars penetrate to the heart of Arvo Pärt's music ... I doubt that in the coming year there will be many tributes to Arvo Pärt that surpass the excellence of this one".

"This is a highly desirable collection on BR Klassik of Arvo Pärt works recorded live in Munich churches, including a trio of rarely heard choral works and the celebrated Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten".

"Stripping down the number of voices in Pärt has palpable benefits ... Not that there's any sense of power missing: in the tutti of the Magnificat, the crescendos are ringing, and again one notes how cleanly the passing of musical narrative from part to part is realised with fewer voices".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "The purity of The Tallis Scholars' sound provides the perfect scaffolding for the pieces on this disc ... And in their performance ... The Tallis Scholars have presented their chosen repertoire in the way they have always done best - as a sound world of profound beauty".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "A disc of quite exceptional, at times heart-stopping, beauty. While there may be other Pärt recordings in this, his 80th birthday year, it is difficult to imagine there being a finer one".
