Esso Steel Band of Bermuda - Bermuda Honeymoon - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Paavo Jarvi and the Estonian Festival Orchestra pay tribute to Arvo Part, who celebrates his 90th birthday in 2025. The Estonian composer has been part of Paavo Jarvi's life since childhood InchArvo was my sister's and my father's supercool friend. He wore a baseball cap, jeans and a denim jacketInch. The history of the Jarvi family is intimately linked to Part's work, since it was the now legendary concert in which Neeme Jarvi - Paavo's father - conducted Part's Credo in 1968 that caused the Soviet regime to blacklist the Jarvi family and precipitate their departure from Estonia. Credo is also included in this vast programme that covers 45 years of composing. What lies behind this music's simplicity and depth? One answer possibly lies in a remark that Part made in London during a rehearsal with Paavo InchI have the impression that the orchestra doesn't like this chord enoughInch.
