John Tavener composed much of the original music for the Alfonso Cuaron film about a future dystopian society. We also hear a moving account of three modern composers of demanding sacred music: Gorecki, Part, and Tavener. There isn't a trace of the more didactic religious evocations of recent "transcendental" composers such as Tavener, Part, or Gorecki, much less the abstraction of Adams. |
