12 DECEMBER 2021 – STILLE IM SPIEGEL: 100% ARVO PÄRT

© Universal Edition Eric Marinitsch

For years, Johann Sebastian Bach held the top spot in the Klara Top 100. In 2021, the honour fell to a living composer: Arvo Pärt and his ‘Spiegel im Spiegel’. More and more fans seem to have a soft spot for the contemplative work of the Estonian composer. Calm, mystical, spiritual music, those are the words that are whispered after a concert. This time, it will be no different with Silouan’s Song, Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten and Festina Lente, three compositions for strings, harp and percussion. A sizzling programme in which silence is, as it were, mirrored.
