Arvo Part - Silentium - VINYL LP

Classical

Clear Vinyl... Four pieces by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, a pioneer of Inchholy minimalism.Inch The album centers around a never-before-released rendition of InchSilentium,Inch the second movement of Pärt's most famous concerto, Tabula Rasa, performed by Boston-based chamber orchestra A Far Cry. The group plays InchSilentiumInch at nearly half the speed of the best-known version, released on ECM in 1984. The piece, known for it's healing properties for the dying and often used in palliative care facilities (one patient famously called it Inchangel musicInch), is breathtaking at half speed, seemingly stilling time itself. The album compiles some of the most stunning renditions of Pärt's music ever recorded. InchVater Unser (Arr. For trombone & string ensemble)Inch is somehow warm and austere at once. A miniature epic. Pianist Marcel Worm's solo version of InchVariationen zur Gesundung von ArinuschkaInch is as beautiful as anything we've ever heard. InchFratres for Strings and PercussionInch is one of Arvo Pärt's most celebrated works. The Hungarian State Opera Orchestra's version is iconic, filled with emotional playing right on the verge of overly romantic, but never tipping over. Pärt's approach to both music and life is as sparse as the compositions he creates. He once said, InchI have nothing to say... Music says what I need to say. And it is dangerous to say anything, because if I've said it already in words there might be nothing left for my music.Inch Silentium continues Mississippi Records' fascination with this great contemporary composer.
