The magical album... November 21, 2000
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This was one of the first Part discs I ever purchased and it is still the one I compare all the others to. Although the sound quality may not be as high as some later recordings (in particular one track is live and someone had a coughing fit right towards the end) I love the interpretations of Jarrett and Kremer. There is a distinct energy between the two that must be heard to be appreciated.Part's music is very sparse and, as he has stated, emphasises the notes and the space between them. Almost music for meditation but you do need to concentrate on these to really enjoy them. Highly recommended.

Im a recent fan of "minimalist" music. This was reccomended by Amazon from their classical section. Its quite good. Very tectural and atmospheric. Heavy strings.
The best introduction to a beautiful sound world. April 7, 2000

This is the recording that introduced many of us to Arvo Part, and it remains a profoundly moving musical experience many recordings later. All three works (with Fratres performed in two very different arrangements) represent the composer's hauntingly beautiful style at it's most accessible.

This music feels to me like the composers conversation with and prayer to his god. I first heard it in the late '80s on an ECM compilation, and was driven to buy the complete recording. The compositions are spare, but the space between the sounds are as full of music as the notes themselves. The performance seems driven by the music, in a way a that makes me long for more recordings performed during the lives of the composers. There is a more recent recording conducted by Neeme Jaervi, which while quite beautiful is not as moving as this one. I strongly reccomend this to all.
