Cantique features the music of iconic Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. In celebration of Pärt's 75th birthday, Estonian-born and American-raised conductor Kristian Järvi leads the Rundfunk Sinfonie-Orchester Berlin and the RIAS Kammerchor in the performance of Cantique. The album includes Pärt's “Symphony No. 3” and the world premiere recordings of the orchestral and choral version of his “Stabat mater” (1985/2008) and “Cantique des degrès” (1999/2002) for choir and orchestra.
