Various Artists - Eternal Strings / Various - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

When I come back to this composer after months or years away from him I find his music rewarding. Some of it is also very attractive. I would recommend this sampler so you can get to know him. I suspect that you will end up, like me, with a handful of other Pärt discs. Album Tracks 1. Summa for Strings 2. Tabula Rasa Ludus 3. The Woman with the Alabaster Box 4. Berliner Messe Kyrie 5. Collage Uber Bach Toccata 6. Passio Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Secundum Joannem 7. Fratres for Violin, Strings and Percussion 8. De Profundis 9. I Am the True Vine 10. Symphony No. 3 II. ? 11.
