I started flying when, as a teenager, I listened for the first time to the great composers in the history of music. But I only reached the stratosphere with the composers of the 20th century. And now, 67 years old, with Arvo Part I am already at the limits of the solar system.
My sweet wife of 38 years passed on Feb. 8, 2018. This elegy is for you my dear Nancy. Your loving husband, Fred, Gotha
, Florida.
🙏
I absolutely love this composer 🙏❤
This speaks directly to my soul!
Must be the greatest composer of our age (that I know of). Found him by accident. Thank God for youtube!!!
what do you think of Max Richter?
+nickj3ds He's a nice man.
+jaycee bettelsheim I'd like to know what you think of his music though.
Very beautiful!
+shelley isom Aarvo Pärt and Karl Jenkins really moves my soul...
My mom and I love this composer. We are obsessed with him and his music. My violin teacher played fratres and, once she introduced me to him, boy oh boy, we downloaded many of his compositions.
Thank you Mr. Part!!
Possibly my favorite work by Pärt--what a genius!
Thank you, Adriano, this is a treasure.
My pleasure ;) thanks.
"Arvo Pärt’s glorious new Fourth Symphony is subtitled “Los Angeles” for a couple of reasons. The first is that it was commissioned in part by the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The second is a little more complex (...) Arvo had been toying with the idea of texts relating to the concept of guardian angels. With the commission from a city whose name literally means City of the Angels, the Orthodox text Pärt chose became “Canon of the Guardian Angel.”
I love the harmonies and sonority's that Arvo imbues into his scores; also the feelings of depth in the strings to me is deeply profound and spiritual. His music is an experience for the listener, unlike lighter music; one has to really listen carefully to discover the sheer beauty of his music.
Keith Terrett Then, you may also like music by Peteris Vasks, a latvian composer (e.g. "Voices", a symphony for strings), of by Tristan Murail, a French composer (e.g. "Le Lac") as they are also based on the same diaphanous aesthetics.... Enjoy !
Thanks for the tips
This is a jewel. 4:52am, full winter this side of the rock. Im delighted.
Very awesome piece. It reminds me of the time I was chillin with my peeps smoking a flat spliff on the east side LA baby. :)
+Stephen Goodall I love that someone said this about Arvo Part's music :'D
+Stephen Goodall Oh, droll, oh so drool.....I want some!!!!!!Thanks for saying that, really I am not being sarcastic.....
upvote for "fat spliff" reference.
What? East LA is predominantly Mexican immigrant neighborhood.
I couldn't stop listening
This is just absolutely beautiful..
This is a FANTASTIC work for orchestra!
Good old Arvo. I didn(t know this one yet, and yet again it makes me break down in tears.
I can feel each nerve in my body being pulled - this is the first time I have heard this one as well. I am having a hard time keeping my composure.
DiechmoVericon You got the shits, dude?
Well, first of all, I am no where close to being a 'dude', so picture me as a hot redheaded female, which I am, and since I do appreciate humor (which you didn't really pull off too well) I would have grinned every so slightly had you replied "You in the middle of a mind blowing orgasm or something?" (which would involve every nerve in my body and my impending lack of composure) but alas, you went straight to the other side and chose a 'poo' comment. No, no shits. That only happens to me when I am forced to listen to country music.
DiechmoVericon Whoa, easy with the life story, dude. Jeez.
dangermoose2000
Come on. You know you busted out the popcorn.
Here on this planet we have too much pain and sorrow....Arvo Part expresses these emotions so clearly.
NOW thats what i call a masterpiece....Absolute splendor...
The first 7 minutes... they way they make me feel it's just surreal. Arvo Part, what a genius
Mvt. I: Con Sublimatà 0:09
Mvt. II: Affannoso 14:40
Mvt. III: Deciso 29:46
Thanks!
you forgot 39:10 sound of heavy rain for over 4 minutes
This is SUCH a treasure, thank you.
I love Arvo Part's music
I don't know why, but the coughs and other ambient noises add to the atmosphere
for me, at least.
Also, this piece is a perfect representation of my home city, especially Downtown Los Angeles.
+Tornait How John Cage of you!
humans made it on the back porch one afternoon
if coughing adds atmosphere,- which I think is utter crap,- then why not record a room full of people coughing ? this habit in a concert hall to say the least is very irritating, and a distraction. if it were possible to eject the coughers, one would soon find out that people soon learned to stop this irritating habit. -if someone yawns, then others follow, I think it is the same very often with the coughing.
People do not always conform their behaviors to our expectations. There is a human symphony going on all around us, all the time, too.
Seeing this live is an experience I am glad I have
This is a lovely modern work with many gorgeous sonorities and textures. Very enjoyable!
Wow! I hit my own head for not knowing of this sooner! Wonderful... I can live with the occasional coughing; it reminds me of the live venue.
Thank you so much for uploading this, Adriano. This is truly sublime music.
Celestial music. Thank you for sharing!
Innovative, beautiful, captivating ! This profound piece of music is lovely to relax to, although I wish my peers could grasp beauty of Arvo Pärt !
Good Day to everyone !
What a lovely comment!
Innovative? Can you explain to me what is innovative in a romantic music that resumes the shames of the past ..! ??? The music of Iannis Xénakis is innovative to my ears ...
A Genius and A Sound Healer.
'I guess listening to it WHILE studying shouldn't be a problem', said the experienced one :-)
Arvo Pärt est probablement le plus grand compositeur de notre temps.
Je le pense aussi :) Beaucoup de compositeur modernes cherchent des chemains nouveaux pour trouver un type de musique diferents.. je pense qu'il a trouvé un des meilleurs!
Martins Mathilde
Oui !
Je suis mécréant . Mille fois plus embêtant : je suis profane en musique, la '' vraie ''. Et pourtant, quand j'ai découvert '' Spiegel im Spiegel '', ( version de 4 minutes avec, France-Musique je crois ( ? ) ), j'ai eu rapidement quatre versions en deux CD .
J'avais déjà une trentaine de CD, autant en musique profane que d'églises. Puis internet est arrivé chez moi . Je découvre en grand la Musique .
Au milieu des cent, ou un million, M. Arvo Pärt reste de mes cinq favoris. Avant de connaître tout le monde des compositeurs ?
Assolutamente sì! Un grande genio, poco valorizzato e sconosciuto ai più!
Je pense qu'il est l'un des plus consensuels, donc l'un des moins importants parmi ceux qui ont du talent. Seuls nos successeurs jugeront... Qu'en restera-t-il dans 80 ans? Une sensation d'une musique toujours actuelle, forte dans sa conception, qui transcende l'esthétique de son époque, ou un témoignage attendrissant mais irrémédiablement fané des goûts forcément superficiels d'une époque pour certains types d'atmosphères? (atmosphère, atmosphère....). J'ai mon idée, mais je sais que je peux me tromper.
Thank you for sharing this great music!
Exquisite. Part's work is sheer magic.
What a beautiful and profound piece. Very familiar with Part's music, but had never heard this. Thanks!
Sublime: Amazing Music Great Composing.
Found on UTube. Thanks again UTube always the best
THANK U EVER SO Arvo Part x
Interestingly, its dedicatee is Khodorkovsky. Thanks for uploading. I like Part's music and never heard this symphony, wasn't even aware of its existence.
Khodorkovsky? Why on earth did he do that..?
encarsiaformosa Why not? He's a symbol of the new Russia that could have been but is not and who knows when or if it would be.
Roman Golubev OK, as you wish. For me he's the symbol of a self-centered oligarchy whose complete alienation from the common man gave rise to the very same autocratic regime he had intended to suppress. People want food and shelter first, then they can start to think about democracy and freedom of the press.
encarsiaformosa May I suggest you read his book Prison and Freedom. I'm sure you will change your opinion on a few things about him.
encarsiaformosa Exactly. Typical oligarch who knew the "rules of the game": and refused to play by them, so Vlad threw him in jail. Nothing more, nothing less. A very smart and intelligent man, though. He knew the score.
Mr. Pärt is really surprises me, every time. I really love his music and him, he's such a humble man...
Wonderful composition !
Thanks a lot
sounds from heaven
Hermoso y sublime a la vez. Mi sono innamorata!
It's very much an integration of all Arvo's musical imagination. Glorious!
Very interesting how civilized the comment section is.
Grob Reimer ...perhaps sensibility ,education and good taste...isn't?
must be the music :)
Amazing .. so glad Avro Pärt's legacy lives on. Post-modern hope...
I think of Lepo Sumera the Estonian composer 1950 to 2000 These guys have traveled in similar musical paths during their musical lives
So beautiful !
Beautiful!
Very nice!!! Amazing!!! Love it!!
listen with an open window+ the bird came back sitting on the wall + giving some comments ones in a while
Amazing, I wish I could play it one day...
The power of music is in the live moment, and in some ways, storing it is a sacrilege - unless for archival repository like this. You Tube is a miracle.
Fantastique ! J'adore... J'éprouve toujours un sentiment de paix en écoutant la musique d'Arvo Paart...
Beautiful.
It's a very beautiful music, played with exceptional skill and an impressive interior feeling. A delightful listening experience !
Arvo Pärt is one of my favourites. And fact is that he is one of the best modern classic composer.
Thank you so much, belaisko!
Greatest symphony of last decade
Referring to Gabriele Traverso's comment (which inspired many opposing responses) -- there is music for different settings and times. If I want to listen to music late at night, I would not put on Dvořák's "Carnival Overture" nor Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." I can see how a Larghissimo tempo might be torture for some, but it is perfect for me in contemplation or repose.
I really find this piece of music deeply fascinating.
There's so much coughing, that I caught a cold while listening to this.
Great sound track for the movie, are climate today.
Sincerity is more important than innovation in Music.
I was at the premiere of this in Chicago however many years ago!
...just miracle... the meditation for spirit...
Iam thankfull for this
inspiring music.
amazing ! thank you !
amazing!!!
sensaciones indescriptible. gracias por componer
Superbe musique...Merci.
AMAZING!
Gracias 🌹
Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks
Une merveille comme sait si bien créer Monsieur Arvo Part.
It’s really such a beautiful music
merci !!!
the city of Los Angeles was founded by Spaniards and called by them "The Angels": the loss of accent is due to the English conquest. So the title can either refer to the angels, or to the city of the angels
Extraordinario.
Tavener,Part,Gorecki - Brilliant!
Following a trail blazed by Alan Hovhaness in the 1950s and 60s?
Magnificent!
Excelente trabajo sinfónico, a la altura de los clásicos.
para mí, ya es un clásico.
tnx for posted this video
I just let Arvo wash over me whenever I go there. He is the sounds we all need to hear. The planet makes more sense with his translations from the cosmos here for our ears.
Marco
Arvo Pärt : verrassend goed, niettegenstaande mijn bezwaren tegen moderne muziek.
simply transcendent
SO SWEET !
beautiful🌹🌹🌹
I found this when I was 16 and I thought that coughs were part of the composition haha
I found him because of you PIPPA, you have a great taste in classics. That's Donna Tartt
And now they know how many coughs it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn them off.
+Paul Pomeroy Yea, but why that, here?
Once i listened to a piece where the WHOLE audience were coughing in the pauses, instead of clapping their hands. It was very wierd to me, but then i realized it was a way for them to show "the utmost respect".
+Paul Pomeroy If you think this is bad, listen to watch?v=O2gDFJWhXp8
+Paul Pomeroy As Bobby Fischer (who was not known for his tact) said to the spectators during the world chess championship match with Boris Spassky , "if you want to cough, go to a hospital instead."
+Paul Pomeroy Better avoid listening to live jazz. Over there people talk over the music.
Para mim esta Obra é uma "Criação Maravilhosa" !... " Assustadora" !..."Um Imprevisível Mundo de Emoção" !.... * INANARRÁVEL * (!) ...
Sim. Maravilhosa!
Just perfect to sit and write to...don't have to search hopelessly for a new song, just press play and relax
Arvo Pärt
Have never believed that I had a soul. When I hear this music, I got one anyway.
This is a beautiful piece of contemporary classical music and a joy to listen to. Another that I would recommend which, in my opinion, is a little better is Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No 3 which can be found on TH-cam. RIP Henryk, we miss and love your fantastic music.
Great , Master Arvo Part.-Great.-
WOW! Can it be true..? Arvo is showing his "American" side! I remember him saying that he does not compose his music himself but picks it up from the atmosphere, it is already there. Wether that might be metaphorical or not, you really hear him picking up on something, I really feel he's channeling Los Angeles, a very broody warm atmosphere, a little bit in la-la-land, there's something about L.A. no one understands and you hear that in this piece. It also has something to do that this was commissioned by Essa Pekka-Salonen and the L.A. orchestra for Walt Disney concert hall. Pekka-Salonen was director for L.A. Philharmonic at the time and he was not in good standing with them and I hear that goes beyond just a mere disagreement between him and the orchestra (an inevitable break-up was the result). Anyhow the right word to describe this al is: GALVANIZING!
***** American side? lmfao. It may be a concept he believes in but at any rate it's picking up the atmosphere from his individual point of view, ergo he only picks up his own atmosphere. It's like saying that his other works sound like Vienna or Tallin. There's absolutely nothing about L.A in there, if that was the case, it would sound like a soulless entity looking for popular appeal.
Angel M. Agreed, reminds me so much of the time i spent in LA. Very evocative.
Poor Angel
***** If that's your best argument, trust me, I'm not the one to pity here :)
Interesting comment, about him 'picking up something' in the atmosphere. I'm from England, and Part has a home in East Anglia, I think, where he wrote a couple of small pieces for a church there... it too has 'an atmosphere, of place perhaps.
Those who dislike this video lost a jewel piece!!!
To fully appreciate and understand this Part masterpiece one needs to have followed his body of work from past to present. This is 'spiritual evolution' at its finest. Unlike Rautavaara or others of his ilk, Part seems to have seen and 'heard' the inner light, and brought it forth to seed that same inner light in those of us 'who have eyes to see and ears to hear'. I do agree that the coughing during the performance is distracting.
awesome, really.
I see some people see Parts music as sad,I see it as enlightening perhaps even a new beginning or rebirth of one's thoughts when this composers sublime music is played in your general direction. ❤😊
