About

These days, Estonian composer Arvo Pärt is mainly associated with his later works. Born in 1935, he wrote ‘avant-garde’ works at first. In the 1970s he increasingly found his inspiration in medieval religious music, both western and eastern European, and this first showed itself in his Für Alina for piano.

Pärt further extended his so-called tintinnabuli (bells) style in small-scale pieces, such as the different versions of Spiegel im Spiegel and Variationen zur Gesundung von Arinuschka, although this last piece has ‘classical’ features as well.

This CD shows an aspect of Arvo Pärt which is seldom heard: his small-scale chamber music works. As such, this recording is a valuable addition to the material already available on the market.
