Our Take

Let's dive into the ethereal world of Matthew Barley and Sinfonietta Riga's rendition of Tavener's "The Protecting Veil." From the opening notes, it's clear that this album is no ordinary classical offering.

Barley's cello skills are off the charts, weaving a mesmerizing tapestry of sound that envelops you like a warm, musical hug. The strings of Sinfonietta Riga provide the perfect backdrop, adding depth and richness to Tavener's haunting compositions.

Tracks like "The Protecting Veil" and "The Dormition of the Mother of God" transport you to another realm, where time seems to stand still and the only thing that matters is the music swirling around you. It's a truly transcendent experience that is not to be missed.

While Tavener's compositions are undeniably beautiful, it's Barley and Sinfonietta Riga's interpretation that truly elevates this album to greatness. Their chemistry is palpable, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that is equal parts enchanting and mesmerizing.

In a world filled with endless musical offerings, "The Protecting Veil" stands out as a shining example of what can be accomplished when talent, passion, and dedication come together. So go ahead, close your eyes, and let the music wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
