About

Arvo Pärt’s compositions were and are often inspired by external circumstances. Evidence of this can be seen in the selection of works for and with piano, which Onutė Gra˛inytė chose for her debut recording. The Lamentate was inspired by Anish Kapoor’s sculpture “Masyas”; in 1977 he dedicated the Variations for the healing of Arinushka to his daughter; Pari intervallo was inspired by the ensemble Hortus Musicus, and the list goes on...

Für Alina is of particular importance to the Lithuanian pianist as she knows the mother of the piece’s dedicatee. Onutė Gra˛inytė was astounded by the simple notation. “First you ask yourself: What is this?” Her playing reveals that she has understood. “Arvo Pärt has reached the core. It’s no coincidence that he dedicated many piano pieces to children and let a boy sing the Our Father. It’s the pure ideal that children are born with, and to which the composer has returned.”
