‘Veil Of The Temple’ is a truly stunning world première recording of John Tavener’s biggest scale choral work to date. Taken from the two live recordings of "The Veil of the Temple - All Night Vigil" from the premieres in 2003, with a comprehensive 70-page booklet containing full texts and notes. The sections of the score were drawn together by Stephen Layton with the blessing of the composer and edited from the 7.1 surround sound recording of Sandy Lerner by Adrian Peacock and Mike Hatch.
