Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

World premieres by Arvo Pärt and John Tavener are the main attractions of this anthology, though supporting material by Uzbek, Serbian and Georgian composers is equally engaging, particularly the two movements of Yanovsky's "Chang Music IV", which blend cello glissandi with koto-style pizzicato.

Pärt's Von Angesicht zu Angesicht features a baritone and soprano rendering of Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, while "Summa" transfers well to guitar quartet. Tavener's "Epistle Of Love" and "Sámaveda" reflect his interest in the diversity of religious musical expression, the former's near-acappella treatment contrasting with the latter's flute and tamboura drone.
