Verses in the Mirror. Symmetry is a fundamental part of Tavener's music, reflecting an eternity within the boundaries of time. Nowhere have these boundaries been more forcibly overstepped than on the Greek island of Patmos, where the exiled apostle John wrote down the Book of Revelation. Nineteen hundred years later, the island became the inspiration for a piano concerto called Palintropos.
