The Whole Note Magazine’s October issue features a wonderful new review for the Latvian Radio Choir and Sigvards Klava’s recording of the Komitas Divine Liturgy:
“The profound music of Divine Liturgy is a historic recording… arranger Vache Sharafyan has made a boldly presumptuous leap of faith and illuminates Komitas’ deeply meditative sound-mass textures, choosing to mix the shadowy darkness of male voices with the dappled light of soaring female ones. Thus we have a brilliantly daring new Divine Liturgy… The mixed Latvian Radio Choir is superbly directed by Sigvards Klava, whose efforts – together with the bold ones of Sharafyan – give wings to the structural logic and deep spirituality of a work that many see as Komitas’ crowning achievement.”
