'The John Tavener Collection' is a tribute to one of the most influential contemporary British composers. This album features all the hits, plus world premiere recordings.

Sir John Tavener is renowned for his serenely beautiful music of spiritual contemplation, inspired by music of the Orthodox Church which he joined in 1977. After his conversion to the Orthodox religion, he formulated a unique new idiom, often employing a slow, almost minimalist unfolding of melodic material, sublime, mystical and very accessible.

Tavener's music has proved enormously popular on disc and this new collection is designed as the 'must-have' Tavener recording.
