Their voices “come very close to the celestial spheres” (La Croix): Les Métaboles, the choir directed by Léo Warynski, gather near Madrid. Featuring two leading composers: Domenico Scarlatti, music master at the court of the King of Spain and composer of a Stabat Mater for ten voices that rivals the angels; and Arvo Pärt, who, following the March 11, 2004, attacks in the Spanish capital, wrote a Da Pacem Domine imbued with a sense of eternity.
