This is a truly superb introduction to the sound world of Arvo Part, with quality performances throughout, and many atmospheric and spine-tingling moments. This is smooth, langorous, meditative music, yet with Part's signature gently rising and falling refrains, bells tolling, partly reminiscent of the ebb and flow of the sea. However, some pieces have a more edgy, lively register, including the opening 'Fratres' for violin and piano. Although all the pieces here have a very accessible, refined melodic heart, and the playing on this album is of a very high standard indeed, some of the outstanding pieces for me include the moving 'Cantus in Memorium Benjamin Britten', with its wistful tolling bell, the violin/piano piece 'Spiegel im Spiegel' which is now much used in soundtracks and adverts, and the memorably haunting 'Ludus' and 'Silentium' with its haunting 'underwater' soundworld and addictive prepared piano. A wonderfully rich selection, superbly performed.
Strongly recommended.

This is a CD to treasure. Tasmin Little demonstrates wonderful affectionate artistry in her violin playing. Martin Roscoe plays the piano sympathetically. There is delicasy and grace in this warm portrayal of Arvo Part's ideas. The Bournemouth Sinfonieta gives winning performances in Tabula Rasa, Festina Lente, Summa and Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten. The sound in the Abbey Church, Blandford Forum is very pleasing. Part certainly reaches the place that some other minimalists may not.

Bought after hearing one of the pieces on the radio. Was not disappointed in that piece but the others may take some time to get to know and enjoy.
