Path of Miracles by Joby TalbotTenebrae (choral ensemble), directed by Nigel Short
The 62-minute a cappella choral work, "Path of Miracles" depicts the journey of medieval pilgrims to Santiago, Spain, resting place of St. James. Extensive use of ostinato patterns, soaring soprano lines, and Tenebrae's incomparible vocal virtuosity make this CD a must-have for anyone who likes contemporary choral music.
One reviewer wrote: "I would go as far to suggest that Talbot’s “Path of Miracles” is to the first decade of the 21st-century what Arvo Pärt’s "Passio" was twenty years earlier." (Classics.com) Another said, "Path of Miracles is little short of a musical miracle itself."
This hybrid super-audio CD (SACD) plays in both a standard CD player, and those equipped for SACD.
