J Bach .S. / Lauridsen / Meyers - Mysterium [CD]

Superstar violinist Anne Akiko Meyers' imagination and ingenuity knows no bounds. Her idea to persuade leading living composer Morten Lauridsen to transform his choral masterpiece, O Magnum Mysterium, into a work for violin and choir is a masterstroke. Teaming up with conductor Grant Gershon - who first collaborated with Anne as chamber musicians over 40 years ago - and the Los Angeles Master Chorale, for whom Lauridsen was their first Composer in Residence, Anne rounds out this 4-track EP with three other arrangements for violin and chorus of ever-popular works by J.S. Bach.
