Arvo Pärt

I really like this guy. I just got a hold of one of his cds tonight, and it sounds really fantastic. What's watmm's opinion on Arvo Pärt?

he's a nice looking fellow

i sample him frequently

FRATRES

Summa.

Love the man!

These are the albums I own with his work on it

I'm mostly into his intrumental works tho, wish he makes more of that instead of choraly stuff.

Fur Alina is one of the most beautiful tracks I've heard in my life, probably second only to Eno's - An Ending (Ascent). Although probably seen as sacrilege by some, for me Rafael Anton Irisarri's reworking of the track on the EP Reverie ( http://www.boomkat.com/artist.cfm?a=12677 ) somehow pulls the heart strings even further than the original.

just like Gorecki he's a modern/ancient master.

regarding electronic music, check the fennesz remix of his organ piece. that was on split 7" with philip jeck.

I had no idea that was a reworking of an Arvo Part track, I love that single !

There was an episode of Sacred Music with Gorecki + Part http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rm59l

Probably torrentable.

He writes nice music.

arvo part is awesome... my favorite piece is tabula rasa.

his vocal pieces are very relaxing to listen to.

It wasn't Arvo Pärt, it was Charles Matthews:

Heh, that'd be why it didn't ring a bell to me !

Kanon Pokajanen is one of my favorite pieces of music ever

His music sounds so pure and timeless. Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten might be his most powerful work, or possibly Arbos. I had the fortune of seeing Te Deum live (absolutely massive group of performers), and it totally blew me away.

well, its fennesz/jeck remixing a fabulous Arvo Pärt piece of music, "Annum per annum", you can reckon the piece easily in the fennesz remix.

obviously the organ was played by charles matthews. the piece is dedicated to arvo pärt anyway. speaking of fennesz remixes, next step : oneohtrix point never...
