Vox Clamantis

The Grammy-winning Estonian vocal ensemble Vox Clamantis comprises a diversity of twelve singers who share their passion for Gregorian chant, early polyphony and contemporary music. Formed in 1996 by conductor Jaan-Eik Tulve, the group has been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike for their unique sound and meaningful interpretation.

The ensemble’s musical thinking has its roots deep in the tradition of early European music, but also the performance of contemporary Baltic music forms a core theme within the repertoire of Vox Clamantis. Composers such as Arvo Pärt, Helena Tulve and Erkki-Sven Tüür have written and dedicated their works for Vox Clamantis.

Upcoming concerts include festival appearances at the Hochkultur Festival in Austria, Musica Divina in Kraków and in Montreux, as well as a tour in spring 2027 with performances in Munich, Dresden, Berlin, Vienna, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf, amongst others.

The ensemble has also performed with a number of artists including Arianna Savall, Dhafer Youssef, Marco Ambrosini, Yair Dalal, Jean Claude Pennetier, Cello Octet Amsterdam, early music consort Hortus Musicus, NYDD Ensemble, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and Latvian Radio Choir.

Their discography includes highly praised recordings as Cyrillus Kreek: The Suspended Harp of Babel, The Deer’s Cry and Filia Sion for ECM Records, Sacrum Convivium with music by Duruflé, Machaut, Poulenc, Messiaen and Gregorian chant as well as Liszt’s Via crucis for Mirare which was awarded the Diapason d’Or. 2023 saw the release of the album Henrik Ødegaard by ECM Records as well as Graduel d'Aliénor de Bretagne by Mirare. ECM Records released a new album by Arvo Pärt in September 2025.

The album “Adam’s Lament” by Arvo Pärt with Tõnu Kaljuste, Latvian Radio Choir among others has won the Grammy Award in 2014.

The film featuring Vox Clamantis music, The Great Beauty (La Grande Bellezza), received an Oscar in 2014.
In 2011, Vox Clamantis and Jaan-Eik Tulve were awarded the annual prize of the Cultural Foundation of Estonia.
 

 

Jaan-Eik Tulve

Jaan-Eik Tulve is one of the most interesting figures on the Nordic vocal music scene.

The Estonian conductor formed the ensemble ‘Lac et Mel’ in Paris in 1993, specializing in the performance or medieval polyphonic works. He also set up the female-voice section of the Gregorian Choir in Paris in 1994.

In 1996, Jaan-Eik Tulve founded the vocal ensemble Vox Clamantis whose repertoire ranges from early polyphony to contemporary music with a focus on the works of Baltic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Helena Tulve and Erkki-Sven Tüür. Vox Clamantis and Jaan-Eik Tulve have toured Europe, Israel, Canada, the USA and Colombia and have appeared at renowned festivals in Norway, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Hong Kong and Australia. With the vocal ensemble he has recorded highly acclaimed albums for ECM Records. The film “The Great Beauty” (La Grande Bellezza), featuring the music of Vox Clamantis, won an Oscar in 2014.

Guest conducting engagements have taken Jaan-Eik Tulve to the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Estonian National Male Choir, Helsinki Chamber Choir, Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and Hortus Musicus.

He completed his diploma studies at the Tallinn Conservatory and studied Gregorian chant at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. His musical training was influenced decisively by Daniel Saulnier at Solesmes Abbey.

  • Album: And I Heard a Voice

    The vocal artistry of this Estonian ensemble, trained in Gregorian chant, is of the highest calibre.
    Musik&Theater, Burkhard Schäfer, November/December 2025

    It's clear within minutes of this recording that Vox Clamantis are a leading interpreter of Pärt's music. They breathe it, they live it.[...] Their tuning is so locked in that it produces an overtone-like effect as it hangs in the air.[...] It's the togetherness of Vox Clamantis that makes these works truly sing.
    BBC Music Magazine, Freya Parr, November 2025 (Choral Choice)

    In this way, Vox Clamantis achieves an exemplary balance between precision of sound and colour diversity.
    Diapason, Benoït Fauchet, 01.09.2025

  • Vox Clamantis at Urkuyö & Aaria Festival Espoo

    Vox Clamantis has taken the works of Arvo Pärt, Cyrillus Kreek, Helena Tulve, and Mart Saari to the next level. [...] This top Estonian choir is predestined for the perfect presentation of the unmistakable tonal language of Arvo Pärt's tintinnabuli music. “The Deer's Cry” was the most impressive part of the concert.

    Helsingin Sanomat, Annmari Salmela,19.07.2024

  • Album: Henrik Odegaard

    The grandiose Estonian vocal ensemble Vox Clamantis, conducted by Jaan-Eik Tulve, has recorded sacred choral works by Norwegian composer Henrik Odegaard: enchanting sacred music that blends Gregorian chant and folklore. [...] This is a CD (ECM Records) for the very quiet moments in life that only belong to the listener.

    Rheinische Post, Wolfram Goertz, 18.07.2023

  • Album: Cyrillus Kreek: The Suspended Harp of Babel

    Whenever I have heard Vox Clamantis in concert it has been an amazing experience. Their clarity, their precision, their sheer musicianship make them easily one of the best vocal ensembles currently active anywhere in the world. Much of the music on this disc I heard in concert quite recently, in Tallinn, and it is true to say that, with ECM’s superb engineering, the frisson of live performance is captured here to perfection.[…] Two of the most impressive works are Bless the Lord, my soul and By the rivers of Babylon, both of which are absolutely ideal vehicles for Vox Clamantis, whose precise placing of chords, assisted by impeccable tuning, means that every harmonic detail is as clear as a bell. Highly recommended.<link http: www.gramophone.co.uk>
    www.gramophone.co.uk, Ivan Moody, June 2020

    The work of Cyrillus Kreek is hardly present in this country. Quite wrongly, as the new album by the outstanding ensemble Vox Clamantis under Jaan-Eik Tulve proves. […] The choir demonstrates its immaculate intonation and homogeneity, especially in the Aappella pieces and two psalms.
    FonoForum, Thomas Otto, July 2020

    <link https: www.ecmrecords.com artists vox-clamantis _blank>Vox Clamantis’ recording of this Estonian composer’s music is “a real stunner…magic of another sphere …beautifully crafted, really atmospheric, absolutely bewitching”.
    BBC Radio 3, Hanna French & Andrew McGregor, May 2020

     

  • Album: Cyrillus Kreek: The Suspended Harp of Babel (continued)

    Gregorian chant affords a common meeting place for Vox Clamantis but their reach has spanned from medieval polyphony to contemporary music. […] A caressing velvety choral reassurance underpins Jaan-Eik Tulve’s tender direction of Psalm 121 by Kreek. The singing breathes with a collective, gentle inevitability.[…] The final impression is abiding solace and nonetheless.
    BBC Music Magazine, Paul Riley, July 2020

    Atmospheric recording: On their latest album on ECM, directed by Jaan-Eik Tulve, Vox Clamantis introduce a composer from the previous generation: Cyrillus Kreek. Though largely forgotten by the world beyond, he had a lasting influence on Estonian choral music. […] In psalms and hymns, his music is tonal, sensuous yet pure, direct but almost introspective. […] This mysterious instrumental cocktail of drones and high overtones gives definition to the a cappella singing. It’s music of another place and time, beautifully done.<link http: www.theguardian.com>
    www.theguardian.com, Fiona Maddocks, 23.05.2020

    Estonia's leading vocal ensemble, Vox Clamantis, intones hymn-glowing psalms and enchantingly beautiful folk songs by Cyrillus Kreek flawlessly. […] In the unaccompanied psalm chants trained in Bach's chorales, the crystalline brilliance of the singers can be radiated in a hymn-like splendor. […] A new dimension beyond the vocal sound opens up with the Swedish nyckelharpa and the Estonian cannel with Marco and Angela Ambrosini and Anna-Liisa Eller, who expand and strengthen the voices. A wonderful discovery.
    www.br-klassik.de, Susanne Schmerda, 06.05.2020

    Psalms and folk songs: a consolation for open ears at ECM with the ensemble Vox Clamantis, singing in the most beautiful serenity - enraptured, decelerated, intense and unpretentious.<link http: www.kurier.at>

  • Huge plaudits at RheinVokal Festival

    The extreme, sometimes even ascetic simplicity of Arvo Pärt's works was perfectly interpreted by Vox Clamantis. The audience got to know another stylistic side of Pärt with "The Deer's Cry". In the procession song "Conductus Beata viscera", Jan-Eik Tulve entered the circle of 14 singers and managed to direct the most sensuous sounds with barely visible hand movements. With the motet by John Dunstable the ensemble was able to show its passion for polyphony.

    Blick aktuell, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, 21.08.2019

  • CD: Sacrum Convivium

    Vox Clamantis erzeugt einen Klang von höchster Reinheit. Wir sind an den hohen Standard von Chören aus den baltischen Ländern gewöhnt, aber dieses Album ist außergewöhnlich. Stimmen von großer Schönheit werden mit einem diskreten, aber ausdrucksstarken Vibrato eingesetzt. Die Tongebung ist makellos.

    <link http: www.musikweb-international.com>www.musikweb-international.com, William Hedley, 9/2018

  • Vox Clamantis beim Kunstfest Corvey

    Die acht Damen und Herren des Ensembles verzauberten durch eine lupenreine Intonation einer sehr präzisenTechnik: Leuchtende Klangsäulen, flexible Dynamik, schattiertes Espressivo. Als Hörer konnte man sich dem Sog einer magisch mystischen Stimmung kaum entziehen. Die Antiphone und Sequenzen zeichneten sich durch höchste Formklarheit und strukturelle Dichte aus.

    Westfalen-Blatt, Dagmar Korth, 04.09.2018

  • Mystische Tiefe und magische Klangschönheit

    Die Stimmen der 14 Choristen erhoben sich wie eine einzige in den Raum. Vor dem Altarraum begann eine Stunde Chormusik von größter Klangschönheit (…). Gregorianische Gesänge wechselten sich annähernd nahtlos mit Werken aus späterer Zeit bis in die Gegenwart ab und verflochten sich zu einer Einheit. (…)Fast übergangslos an das gregorianische „Mandatum Novum“ fügt sich Arvo Pärts „Drei Hirtenkinder aus Fatima“ an, das 2014 von Vox Clamantis uraufgeführt wurde. Obertongesang auf der einen und der tiefe Grundton des Subbasses reicherten das Klangspektrum an, was der Komposition mystische Stimmung verlieh.

    Main-Post, 13.07.2018

    Vox Clamantis ist ein tolles Ensemble: sechs Frauen und sechs Männer, die absolut tonrein und instrumental ohne jedes Tremolo singen können und sich auch durch harmonische Querstände nicht irritieren lassen. Die aber auch brummen und pfeifen können wie eine kleine mittelalterliche Orgel.(…) Am nachhaltigsten in Erinnerung dürfte das Gebet „The Deer’s Cry“ von Arvo Pärt sein. Vox Clamantis machte auch eindrucksvoll deutlich, dass es mit der gregorianischen Tradition noch ein Weilchen weitergeht.

    Saale Zeitung, Thomas Ahnert, 13.07.2018

  • Arvo Pärt: Passio

    The ensemble offered a brilliant mastery of the Passio where silence, dissonance and tintinnabuli built with an apparent simplicity [...] a masterly and complex work.

    Dernieres Nouvelles d'Alsace, 05.04.2018

  • CD: The Deer's Cry

    Jaan-Eik Tulve lässt den Miniaturen die Zeit, die sie zur Entfaltung brauchen, sein Ensemble Vox Clamantis verfügt über die intonatorische Reinheit, aus der die spirituelle Reinheit der Musik erst erwächst, und über die Präzision und Disziplin, die die Mutter der Kontemplation ist. Stück für Stück, Mosaikstein für Mosaikstein fügt sich so das stimmige Porträt eines Komponisten zusammen, bei dem die Kunst der Beschränkung der Schlüssel ist zur Unendlichkeit.

    Thorsten Preuß, BR Klassik, 27.09.2016

  • CD: Arvo Pärt The Deer's Cry

    The level of artistry necessary to achieve the kind of living, breathing performance given here by the Estonian choir Vox Clamantis is a rarity. The 15 singers sound is complete, comfortable possession of the music and its incantatory intentions.

    Terry Blain, BBC Music Magazine

    With a smaller number of singers and closer microphone placement, their tone comes across as more immediate and reedier (...).The Deer's Cry is an important and highly rewarding release.

    Malcolm Riley, Gramophone

    Vox Clamantis boast an exceptional purity and sweetness of tone that perfectly showcases the spare beauty and emotional immediacy of Pärt’s music, as well as its devotional intensity. Vox Clamantis’ account of the title track, ‘Alleluia-Tropus’, and the breathtaking ‘Da Pacem Domine’ are now, in my opinion, the versions against which all future accounts will be measured. No classical collection should be without this utterly gorgeous recording.

    Rick Anderson, CD Hotlist, October 2016

    The Estonian choral group Vox Clamantis comes through with a stunning, second release of music on ECM, a wonderful compilation of Arvo Pärt's works, The Deer's Cry. The choir is heavenly and recorded beautifully. (...) Vox Clamantis gives us extraordinary readings that are among the most definitive out there.

    Gapplegate Classical-Modern Music Review

  • CD: Filia Sion

    Vox Clamantis bricht wahrscheinlich einige der "Regeln" der mittelalterlichen Musik, soweit irgendjemand eine Ahnung davon hat, wie es tatsächlich geklungen hätte. Durch die Kombination von Männerstimmen und Frauenstimmen, durch die Besetzung von Solisten mit Chor und sogar durch die Verwendung zeitgenössischer und nicht standardisierter Gesangstechniken (ich schwöre, ich höre "Obertongesang" hinter Hildegards "Ognis Spiritus"), sorgen Vox Clamantis mit ihrem Einfallsreichtum und ihrer Musikalität für eine inspirierende, musikalische Begegnung.

    John Montanari, New England Public Radio

  • CD: Liszt: Via Crucis

    Die dreizehn Sänger aus Estland bringen Licht in die ungewohnte Komposition von Liszt, Pianist Jean Claude Pennetiers Klavier besticht durch seine Exzellenz. Das strenge, zerbrechliche Opus wird zu einer mystischen Erfahrung.

    Kommt die Rettung von Via Crucis von Liszt aus dem Baltikum? Der Liszt‘sche Spaziergang vom einstimmigen gregorianischen Gesang bis zu den Grenzen der Moderne von Bach und Palestrina findet eine Einheit, die viele Interpretationen ignorieren (...). Hier erreicht die intime und einzigartige Erfahrung von Via Crucis Ausdruckskraft als auch Rätselhaftigkeit.

    Diapason, Benoît Fauchet, Juni 2013

  • Re-opening of the renovated Abbey Church of St. Mauritius in Tholey

    Musical meditation, the atmosphere of which was enhanced with the main work of the evening: excerpts from Arvo Pärt's canon "Pokajanen" captivated listeners [...] the ensemble succeeded in a coherent, multifaceted and sonorous interpretation. [...] Pärt immerses himself in the tone of the Cyrillic text template, the words seem to write the music. Conductor Jaan-Eik Tulve modeled dynamics and sound with a soft gesture, one could feel the specialist for Gregorian singing. Organically, as a matter of course, the melodies and the sometimes rubbing harmonies flowed.

    Saarbrücker Zeitung, Helmut Fackler, 24.09.2020

  • Festlichkeiten zur Wiedereröffnung der renovierten Abteikirche St. Mauritius in Tholey

    Musikalische Meditation, deren Atmosphäre sich mit dem Hauptwerk des Abends verstärkte: Ausschnitte aus Arvo Pärts Kanon „Pokajanen“ zogen Zuhörer in ihren Bann […] gelang dem Ensemble eine stimmige, facettenreiche und klangschöne Interpretation. […] Pärt versenkt sich in den Tonfall der kyrillischen Textvorlage, die Worte scheinen die Musik zu schreiben. Dirigent Jaan-Eik Tulve modellierte mit weicher Geste Dynamik und Klang, man spürte den Spezialisten für gregorianischen Gesang. Organisch, wie selbstverständlich flossen die Melodien und die sich mitunter auch reibenden Harmonien.
