Music reviews of Tintinnabulum: Organ Works by Arvo Part ...

Music Review: I'm an Arvo Part completist
Rating: 3 Stars

Part's "Annum per Annum" is just tops. I literally couldn't believe an organ could make the sounds that are coming out of it. At times dissonant, but in a completely awesomea computeristic, locomotive kind of way. The piece then mellows out into what is tonal, but definately still modern music.

"Mein Weg Hat Gipfel und Wellentaler" is great as well...it sounds like a thinking man's Phillip Glass.

"Pari Intervallo" is quite a change from the dynamic thrusts of the other three Part pieces. A good bit more serene. Top notch though.

While I'm not crazy about all of it, some of the other pieces are really great too, especially the anonymous and the Orgelbuch pieces. For this listener though, Part's pieces are definately the highlight, and the gorgeous recordings of church bells (which I could listen to endlessly.)

To me, the disc is a bit of a let down because I was expecting the other composer's to be more complimentary to Part's. There's just too big a gap between them for this collection to have won me over. I think its totally worth it though for Part completists.
