Jonathan Elias's The Prayer Cycle weaves together complimentary voices from such stellar vocalists Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Alanis Morissette, Yungchen Lhamo, Ofra Haza, the American Boychoir, Salif Keita, and Linda Rontstadt with the English Chamber Orchestra and Chorus. In Nine Movements, Elias leads us through a world that is both joyous and cruel. Prayers of mercy, strength, hope, compassion, grace, innocence, forgiveness, benediction, and faith lift the listener to a higher ground. A stunning achievement.

"The Prayer Cycle's exquisite, soaring world-music voices dissipate all defenses."
