Tabula Rasa / Symphony No. 1 / Collage on the Theme B-A-C-H / Pro et Contra

Arvo Pärt

Crystalline violins and prepared piano create a landscape of radical stillness. A definitive document of spiritual minimalism and the tintinnabuli style.

A profound, sacred silence that feels like standing in a vast, empty cathedral.

Moments Worth Listening For
The prepared piano in Tabula Rasa sounding like a distant, metallic clockwork heart.
The transition into Silentium where the music slows to the pace of a resting pulse.
The jarring, dissonant interruptions in Collage on the Theme B-A-C-H that break the baroque structure.
