The choir Cappella Romana is known for its interpretations of Orthodox and, specifically, Byzantine church music, with a purity and richness matching those that come from the music's countries of origin. They pick wonderful, unsung recording venues (this one was done at the Gus Kriara Lodge of Camp Angelos, Corbett, Oregon), and they sweat the details such as Old Church Slavonic pronunciation (a coach is credited here). Given that, it may seem strange how little of their output is devoted to the most famous Orthodox composer of them all, Arvo Pärt. That may be because Pärt is not specifically an "Orthodox composer" but rather one who draws on a variety of liturgical traditions. However, this 2023 release changes the situation, and it becomes clear that Cappella Romana is an ideal match for Pärt's music. The album is centered on the Kanon Pokajanen ("Kanon of Repentenance"): a Kanon in Orthodox usage is a structured hymn that has nothing to do with the Western canon, whose verses are spread around the program-like sections of the mass in a contemporary performance of Renaissance masses. They are diverse in expression but also have a stark simplicity for the most part. There is little of Pärt's trademark tintinnabuli approach, although it does show up in a few places with chilling effect (sample the "Oikos" movement). The Kanon is augmented by other relevant pieces, including one in English, The Woman with the Alabaster Box. This is a major Pärt recording that does not sound like any of the many others on the market.
