Fratres (Arvo Pärt - Benedek - Hungarian State Opera Orchestra; Naxos)

The main draw with this recording is the multiple recordings of "Fratres" in various arrangements that I hadn't heard before (in fact, I don't think I've heard any of these done before) but it also includes Pärt's "Festina lente for strings and harp ad lib.", "Summa for strings" and the ubiquitous "Cantus in memory of Benjamin Britten".
