If you have never heard this you have a treat in store. (review from amazon.co.uk)
The Kreek psalms are hauntingly gorgeous. In fact they can become almost addictive. Beautifully sung and magnificently directed by the Estonian choir and Paul Hiller, you can immerse yourself in most of this disc. Other highlights include the Peteris Vasks Dona Nobis and, of course, the Pärt "which was the son of", although I am not personally enamoured of the two pieces by Sandstrom. Buy it, you will not be disappointed.
