Lukaszewski - Choral Works

Recorded 4-7 July 2007. Released September 2008.

“Stephen Layton conjures magical and sophisticated performances… I imagine that the composer must be in seventh heaven.” – International Record Review

Spiritually charged and structurally meticulous, the music of Pawel Lukaszewski “eschews tried and tested formulae, creating an essentially unique mode of harmonic operation for each piece.” (Paul Wingfield) This album’s rich selection of the Polish composer’s works includes the major Advent cyle of ‘O’ Antiphons, three sections of the seven-movement ‘Beatus Vir’, and the internationally-regarded ‘Nunc Dimittis’ of 2007, dedicated to Stephen Layton.
