Negative Positive
Title: Luminous
Review: I am not much of a Tavener fan. His mystical minimalism usually just strikes me as boring. But the major work on this recording, Ikon of Light, while having the usual Taverneresque austerity, is also one of the most beautiful and striking choral works of the 20th century. The Sixteen has also recorded this work (I haven't heard their version) but I doubt any group will perform this better than the Tallis Scholars do here.
Is the review positive or negative?
