Warner Music Arvo Pärt - The Sound of Arvo Pärt, LP Vinyl Classic

Arvo Pärt creates music of deceptive simplicity, and listening to his work can be a transformative experience. Imagine taking your ears on a retreat, and you’re some way to understanding why his work is so popular. The Estonian composer underwent his own transformation in the 1970s, having explored dense avant-garde music in the early part of his career. He put himself through an eight-year creative exile, and emerged with a new, purer voice. The Arvo Pärt that many people are devoted to today (including R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe and Björk) creates music that cleanses. A sonic detox.Side A1 Spiegel im Spiegel (violin & piano) 8.162 Fratres (violin & piano) 11.213 Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten (string orchestra & bell) 5.21Side BTabula Rasa (for 2 violins, string orchestra & prepared piano)1 – Ludus (with movement) 9.592 – Silentium (without movement) 16.22
