Music reviews of Arvo Pärt: Spiegel im Spiegel

Music Review: Great CD, for the Most Part
Rating: 4 Stars

If you collect Arvo Part CDs like me, you've figured out that they're not unique. That is, certain pieces appear on more than one CD and in different company. This is true of SPIEGEL IM SPIEGEL.

The CD's first and fifteenth tracks are renditions of the lovely "Fratres." The first version is for violin and piano, and Vadim Gluzman and Angela Yoffe respectively pick up the tempo a bit. Compare to the more measured performance of the Talinn String Quartet. Equally satisfying.

Also memorable is the final cut, "Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten." This is one of Part's more famous works and deservedly so. The Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra is up to the task.

The title piece, "Spiegel im Spiegel," is a slow, meditative piece reminiscent of the East. I love to write by it, but you may meditate, read, space out, or sit in a dark room and sip wine by it. You get the idea.

My only disappointment is with the inclusion of the 1964 "Quintettino, Op. 13." It's one of those experimental pieces that sound like an orchestra warming up -- not up to Part's later stuff which is some of the finest being written in the modern age.

Overall, SPIEGEL IM SPIEGEL deserves a space on your CD shelf.
