Jeroen Van Veen has released a series of acclaimed recordings on Brilliant Classics of music by the masters of Minimalism, that 1960s-derived aesthetic in which it is not so much the case that more can be said with less as that less seems to be necessary in an increasingly noisy and chaotic world. The Estonian composer Arvo Pärt has never counted himself as among the minimalist number, nor indeed was he schooled in their new traditions, but emerged in the 1960s as an angry and dissonant voice whose musically expressed anger against Communist oppression of his native country could barely be contained within the tumultuous textures of works such as the Third Symphony, but a combination of personal circumstances and aesthetic decisions led him to pare back his style to the world of eerie calm and yet underlying melancholy that has made works such as the Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten such an enduring favourite even among audiences who would not otherwise count themselves as aficionados of the European contemporary music scene. But then Pärt has never fitted into any one stylistic box, and alongside the quiet rapture of Für Alina we may find the student-era tinkling of the intriguing early Dance Pieces, as well as arrangements of classics such as Fratres and Spiegel im Spiegel – here interpreted by Dutch cellist Douw Fonda – that seem to preserve their special mood no matter what the instrumental forces; a quality they share with works of Pärt's compositional idol, J.S. Bach.

First time i heard Speigle im Speigle is in the film Elegy, then i heard the same in the film Mother Night. I listen to that song for hours on end. Someone commented that a new born baby was in serious life threatening health. The family insisted to play the song continuously in the hospital. The baby lived and grown up now and is a dancer ( i think) amazing story. I never forgot that story. Arvo Part is so remarkable with being a minimalist composer. Many "artists" ive enjoyed but are sadly gone now. It would be amazing to see him perform. He is still alive at 88 years old in 2023. He has 2 upcoming concerts in February 2024 in Germany for all those interested

I may have, at 75, found my mentor. I feel so inside of this.

Pärt is an absolute _master_ at composing with silences: his silences are as important as his notes. Sheer beauty, sheer genius, profound understanding of life.

[Morelltre]

I discovered Arvo Pärt's music a few days ago and I listen to it every day.. I thank God that he gave me this! Pärt is a great composer of our time. His music reveals the secrets of the soul and the universe.

[shelleyisom]

I'm so glad I found this composer. He's just what we need in this crazy time...

[b.s.h.]

Absolutely haunting, inspiring, beautiful, and delicate. Thank you Arvo Pärt and the Beautiful Classics channel!

[yvonnereddy]

Heaven sent music…thank you Arvo Partvand Jeroen

[koleszniemodlina]

Arvo Pärt, the greatest contemporary composer.

[NicodemiSoundtrack]

How he can say so much with a bare minimum of notes is miraculous.

[perryvalton]

This is like medication to my soul it takes the pain away.

[imy]

Makes you appreciate every note and you wait for it. Then it resonates in your soul. When I first heard him, I thought its like a lullaby, but im also finding that much is like childhood-like. In the sense that it is resembemblance of nursery rhyme music. Emotional, simplistic, pure, pleasing to hear, thought provoking, just simply lovely. I'd love to see a child reaction listening to Part.

[gallagher]

As I grow old and my heart breaks
I cling to moments of love
a passing glance of a life
my hand reaching out
for yours.

[carofredangilella]

Les notes et le silence. Le silence et les notes. On ne sait plus. Le silence est à cette musique ce que le souffle est au spirituel. Un repos pour l'esprit.
Magnifique.

[MatteoColombini]

...silence is the soul of music...Debussy, Satie, Cage docet

[beartrayand]

How on earth can anyone dislike this..Masterpiece..

[Londonfogey]

It reminds me of the vast empty spaces and silence of northern Europe, the waves cascading rhythmically on the endless vistas of the Baltic coastline.

[moniquegiscardarsac]

Für Anna Maria d'Arvo Pärt est un dialogue avec les âmes, en perles de silence. MAGNIFIQUE

[agatamuzam]

My newborn baby loves it.. This music relax her and when I stop it she has to wake up and request more.. ❤️

[udomatthiasdrums]

wow, what a silence!!! what a feeling!!

[SuperJikster]
