Robert Istad conducts Pacific Chorale and Salastina in choral music by Tarik O'Regan. This recording traces Tarik's distinctive development as a composer. We present never-recorded works from twenty years ago alongside new compositions written for this project. Tarik's ingenuity speaks definitively throughout, and I believe our album serves as a testament to his exceptional voice.
