Polski Chor Kameralny and Jan Lukaszewski - Czarnecki: Vesperae In Exaltatione Sanctae Crucis

Vespers for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross (Vesper� in exaltatione Sanct� Crucis) by Czarnecki is a composition that is thoroughly imbued with the Christian tradition. It is almost a complete form of the evening breviary prayer of the Catholic Church written in Latin but already according to the post-conciliar liturgy. The present album features a complete recording of the work, dedicated to His Holiness Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.The long 'Hymnus Vexilla regis' comes early, but it's crucial to the success of the thing: it's done magnificently. � Choir and Organ, 4 Stars
