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. 00:00:00 Für Alina (1976) 00:20:18 Variationen zur Gesundung von Arinuschka (1977) 00:26:15 Ukuaru valss (1973, rev. 2010) 00:29:09 Für Anna Maria No. 1 (2006) 00:30:30 Für Alina No. 1 (1976) 00:33:11 Pari intervallo (1976, rev. 2008) 00:38:38 Hymn to a Great City (1984, rev. 2004) 00:43:47 Für Anna Maria No. 2 (2006) 00:44:55 Für Alina No. 2 (1976) 00:48:11 Fratres (1977, rev. 1980) 01:00:03 Spiegel im Spiegel (1978) 01:09:14 Vier leichte Tanzstücke “Musik für Kindertheater”: I.
