Reveries
John Tavener is arguably the most popular living composer. Ikon of Eros is the newest of Tavener’s works to be recorded, and this is its premiere. Ikon of Eros was commissioned by Jorja Fleezanis, concertmaster of the Minnesota Orchestra. Paul Goodwin is an authority on Tavener’s music, having performed and recorded many of his works. Patricia Rozario is Tavener’s favorite soprano, and he has written several works for her. Contains an interview with the composer by Brian Newhouse of Minnesota Public Radio. Named one of the Best Recordings of 2003 by SoundStage!
"Gorgeous, mystical music with the power to entrance. Captured in demonstration quality 24-bit HDCD sound by "Prof." Keith Johnson, this world premiere recording is an extraordinary achievement." – Bay Area Reporter
