Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Its a shame that, his ongoing series of choral works having made him famous, Arvo Pärt shows no sign of adding to the variable but always fascinating line of orchestral works in which he "found himself" as a composer. There's nothing here from the experimental years of the 1960s, and in the Third Symphony (1971), the archaic yet timeless world of Pärt as we know it today is largely in place. Only the obvious rhetoric--massive outbursts, thunderous pauses etc, readily emphasised by Neeme Järvi's expansive and hard-hitting account--stands in the way, and by the time of Tabula Rasa (1977), that's gone too. This two-part meditation, featuring the subtle timbres of a prepared piano alongside two violins and strings, is a modern classic: the faraway past filtered through the mindset of the "cold war" present. Atmospheric, often sheerly beautiful, and played here with real insight by Shaham and Anthony. An effective transcription of the endlessly rearranged Fratres (1977) makes for a suitable opening: spiritual music that anyone can enter the spirit of. --Richard Whitehouse

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime and spine tingling!, 10 Sep 2001
I'm making a real confession here - until we purchased this on Saturday September 8 2001 I had barely registered in my consciousness the name of Arvo Part, let alone these works.

I'm converted.

Wandering in a record store in Nottingham my partner picked this CD up and I asked him what it was. "I've not heard any of his stuff but...". I looked at the cover - it struck me as intriguing. I read some of the notes inside. Some mutterings about driving through the American mid-west and hearing "Tabula Rasa" on the radio.

"Lets go into the listening room..." I suggested.

We listened to part of "Tabula Rasa" first. Within a couple of bars I could feel the chill down my spine - then a glow of utter contentment.

When we got home we played it three times - the whole CD and "Tabula Rasa" a couple more than that.

The orchestration and performances captured on this CD are amongst the most heart-felt I have heard in a long time. Gil Shaham's violin playing reaches new heights of excellence here. As a whole the experience of the CD is one of sublime delight.

Listennig to "Tabula Rasa" especially I could totally relate to the remarks on the CD cover. Close your eyes and imagine yourself, at night, driving through the Arizona desert - you know the scene, the mountain rock formations either side of the road. Nothing but stars and moon to light your journey. Keep your eyes closed - that sense of drifting. And listen, really listen, to the tender, simple structures that Part has written. Its a magical feeling, an almost spiritual one.

As I rushed around to find out more about Part, he clicked into place with other 20th century composers such Gorecki. For those who believe that classical music stops well before the 1950s, this might just change their minds in the way that Gorecki has so many others. Part's style is almost mystical in flavour - and certainly in effect on the listener.

If you want to feel moved - truly moved - by music in a way that you thought was no longer possible, buy this CD. Sit in a darkened room and give in to its sublime and awesome beauty.
