About This Item
The concept album InchArvo PärtInch by Gramola is based on the motif of the mirror. Following up on Daniel Barenboim's saying InchMusic comes from silence and ends with itInch, there is a prologue and epilogue for piano solo (InchFor AlinaInch / InchVariations for the Healing of ArinuschkaInch), which in minimalist form and Pärt's own tintinnabuli style provides the framework for this almost spiritual journey. Embedded in it, the instruments violin, viola and violoncello, each in combination with piano, play three times first InchSpiegel i'm SpiegelInch (Mirror in the mirror) - moving down the musical scale, and then in reverse order of the instruments InchFratresInch (Latin for Brothers). The meditative character of these works as well as the special timbres of the instruments are presented inimitably by the musicians Ketevan Sepashvili, piano, Veriko Tchumburidze, violin, Gertrude Rossbacher, viola, and Sandro Sidamonidze, cello.
