Christophers and his ensemble, SIXTEEN, deliver a performance that is both moving and transcendent, with their flawless harmonies and angelic voices blending seamlessly to create a truly mesmerising listening experience.

Tavener's compositions are intricate and complex, yet Christophers manages to bring out the beauty and simplicity of the music with his masterful direction. From the powerful opening of "The Eternal Sun" to the ethereal beauty of "The Mysterious Nature of Light," each track on the album is a testament to Tavener's genius and Christophers' skill as a conductor.

SIXTEEN's rendition of "Ikon of Light" is a spiritual journey that will leave listeners in a state of awe and wonder. The pristine vocals, combined with the rich instrumentation, create a sense of peace and serenity that is truly uplifting. Whether you're a fan of choral music or simply looking for a transcendent listening experience, SIXTEEN's performance of Tavener's "Ikon of Light" is a must-listen.

In conclusion, Harry Christophers and SIXTEEN have delivered a breathtaking performance of Tavener's "Ikon of Light" that is sure to enrapture listeners and elevate their spirits. This album is a true masterpiece of sacred choral music that deserves a place in every music lover's collection.
