Vladimir Martynov - The Beatitudes / Заповеди блаженств - 1998, rescored for Kronos - 2006
(Arrangement for Piano Solo by V. Bobrakov based on the 1998 version)
Martynov's composition The Beatitudes, as performed by Kronos Quartet, featured in La Grande Bellezza (The Great Beauty), the winner of the 2014 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Kronos Quartet requested the arrangement of The Beatitudes (originally written as a choral piece) to close its live-performance program Awakening, which reflects on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Harrington (KQ founder) calls the piece “one of the great works of faith in our repertoire.”

The performance in this version is identical to the one in the video which I previously posted: th-cam.com/video/SGmXJxm1tB0/w-d-xo.html
The only minor difference is that there are no effects.
