4.0 out of 5 stars A Composer's Journey in Progress, 27 Oct 2004
By Bernard Davis "Bernard Davis" (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This disc gives a good short introduction to Arvo Part's orchestral works. There are none from his early serialist period. His collage technique period is represented by Collage UBER BACH and his Baroque/Neo Classical period is represented by his Symphony No 3. His mature Tintinnabuli style is represented by his concerto for Violins and Prepared Piano 'Tabula Rasa'.

It is often said that his mature tintinnabuli (little bells) style is a radical departure, but what impresses here is that Arvo Part's muse underwent a steady development towards a point which is already being searched for in his earlier works. The composer is always concerned with finding a music in which simplicity and richness coexist. He is also audibly always seeking out the pure spring from which music comes: before any 'style' or 'school' has touched it. From the Collage to the Symphony to Tabula Rasa we hear a musical pilgrimmage in progress.

The Collage mixes Bach like, and indeed Bach quoting sections with a brief voyage into the richly chromatic beyond. Symphony No 3 is steeped in the Baroque, the Early Classical and the early 20th Century Neo Classical. There are other influences as well. The first movement is not far from some of Rautavarra's works while the second and third movements resonates with the music of several early 20th century English composers, which no doubt shows the influence of Choral music on the piece. Among others Vaughan Williams, Howells and Walton are not far away.

Now to the best known work here Tabula Rasa, actually first on the disc. It is divided into two, a propulsive first movement which incredibly simple musical means but a succession of amazing textures, then a slow second movement in which is music not so much falls away as gently unwinds.

Naxos must have grappled with the obvious dilemma here. A disc of Arvo Part's Orchestral Works would not have been complete without his best known. At the same time, any performance has to stand next to the incredible one on ECM records which was recorded in the presence of the composer. This performance cannot match it, but the Strings of the Ulster Orchestra aquit themselves well by summoning up some fine textures. A frequent comment about this recording is that the prepared piano, which is integral to the piece, is barely audible. Having heard the disc on several different systems I have observed a strange effect. The better the audio system, the better the piano can be heard. Even on a cheap system it is hardly inaudible, but it is reduced to the role of minor accommpaniment. In the ECM recording its presence is equal to that of the other instruments. This recording is less telling in another way. As Arvo part simplified his music means in terms of notes on the page he enriched it leaving space for the performers to bring something of themselves to the works. The musicians on the ECM recording give of their souls and spirits, The musicians of the Ulster Orchestra give a good performance in conventional terms.

The performance of Tabula Rasa has demanded a more critical look but on its own terms it stands up. The other two pieces are well played. Overall this is a fine disc, but not in the case of Tabula Rasa the best. Above all it is a good disc for hearing the evolution of Arvo Part's music towards its present style, perhaps best listened to by cueing in Tabula Rasa after the other two works.
