Arvo Part: Tribute

Arvo Part: Tribute

Those who aren't familiar with the music of Arvo PÃ¤rt are, to put it mildly, missing out on great beauty in their lives. His choral music is particularly moving. The pieces use what he refers to as a "tintinnabuli" style, a bell-like series of triads seemingly always in motion. This CD, a tribute to him on his 70th birthday, is comprised of some of his finest and most popular works: The Berliner Messes, Magnificat, "Which Was the Son of..." and others. It also presents a world-premiere recording of "Dopo la vittoria" (Following the Victory), which concerns St Ambrose's Te Deum Laudamus, written after a victory against the Arians. It's stunning, filled with changing textures and telling a good story. The performances, by the finest exponents of PÃ¤rt's music in the world, are ideal, and the sound is glorious. PÃ¤rt's music is a spiritual experience as well, but even putting that aspect aside, this CD is a feast for the ears. --Robert Levine
