John Tavener - The Protecting Veil (Extract) (1989)
Maria Kliegel (cello) and the Ulster Orchestra/Takuo Yuasa
R.I.P. Sir John Tavener (28 January 1944 – 12 November 2013)
Completed in 1988, the work was at first a suggestion from cellist Steven Isserlis and subsequently commissioned by the BBC for the 1989 Proms season. The inspiration of the piece comes from the Orthodox feast of the Protecting Veil of the Mother of God, which commemorates the apparition of Mary the Theotokos in the early 10th century at the Blachernae Palace church at Vlacherni, Constantinople. - Wikipedia
