Music reviews of Part: Summa

Music Review: Music for the current epoch.........beautifully conveyed to disc
Rating: 5 Stars

I grew up, matured, and developed a career in the seventies and eighties. Living in one of the nicest countries in the western world, relatively free from grief and trauma, I could never have countenanced the gamut of emotions Arvo Part, who was growing and developing in a more troubled part of the world at the same time, was able to impart. In my early sixties, I find his music really does talk about the world and it's tribulations as it moved through the last three decades.

At once elegant, minimalist, stark and incredibly poised, the music of Arvo Part is able to sum up the current human dilemna in an eloquent and relevant manner. I decided to purchase a series of his albums from Amazon in order to round out my collection after hearing his pieces broadcast frequently on ABC FM, our national classical music broadcaster. I am incredibly glad that I did.

The recording is open and transparent. The performance is suitably sensual and measured. Thus, the music as composed is allowed to emerge; and the music is very impassioned and arousing as a result.

Description of Part: Summa

At a mere five minutes, Arvo Pärt's Summa is actually the shortest composition on this CD. But, for its sheer, austere beauty, the work makes a fitting introduction to this orchestral disc. Pärt's trademark "tintinnabulation" style is in full effect on this sublime recording. Each of these works sounds simple and minimalist, yet also achingly profound. In Pärt's Symphony No. 3 (the earliest piece here, dating from 1971), the roots of his groundbreaking technique are just beginning to take shape: the ringing of bells, the calculated tension, and the hints of early music all add to the three-movement work's drama. For Trisagion and Silouans Song, the pace slows down, and the string orchestra resonates like a haunting church organ (it's easy to sense the enormous influence of Pärt's Eastern Orthodox religion, even on these instrumental compositions). Paavo Järvi and the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra are naturals at interpreting the contemplative music of their country's most famous composer, and the sound quality throughout is excellent. There are far too many Pärt CDs to recommend, but this one will easily serve as an excellent introduction to the composer's magical sonic universe. --Jason Verlinde
