¡Arvo Part: Te Deum
¡Peter Dijkstra (conductor), Bavarian Radio Chorus, Munchner Rundfunkorchester
Description
[Machine Translation] This is a collection of serene choral works by Arvo Part (1935- ), born in Estonia in 1935. Today, Part is often regarded as a "healing composer," but in his early years he wrote neoclassical works. One day, however, he almost lost the energy to write, and his approach was to "return to the roots of Western music. Part called it the "tintinnabuli style," and from then on, he produced a series of simple and beautiful works in this style. The four works on this album are: the brilliant "Te Deum" in the tradition of Charpentier and Bruckner, "Pilgrim's Song" based on Psalm 121, "After the Victory" for the celebration of the anniversary of St. Ambrose's death, and "The Day of the Catholics. The Berlin Mass, so called because it was premiered in St. Hedwig's Cathedral in Berlin on Catholic Day, is a quiet piece written in the Tintinabuli style and requires great care in its performance. All of these pieces are written in the tintinnabuli style and require great care in performance, but Dijkstra and all the players have a deep knowledge and respect for Part's sound world, and they express these works perfectly.
