Arvo Pärt is all heart, in his outdoorsy, restrained, mysterious way. Bobby Burns would be delighted.

[@1964nachete]

loving and special as Arvo Pärt alwais is.

Genial! Gracias!!

[@pilu1100]

Very nice performance! The composition reminds me of Elf Dance from Moondog.

Después de oir ésto escucha un reguetón (o algo así). Hay dos mundos enfrentados. La lucha del bien y el mal.

If any conservatoire student submiited a Paert piece they'd flunk!

[@howtoappearincompletely9739]

Which reflects poorly on the conservatoire's markers, wouldn't you say?

I used to work in the music recording industry. My colleagues were very dismissive of my liking for Part's music, then suddenly it became enormously popular. They went suspiciously quiet after that.

[@DrKeithScottMumby]

@@gharwood1356 A lot of AWFUL music is popular G. Let's just differ. Personal enjoyment is what it's about. I don't enjoy, you do. No quarrel.

[@gharwood1356]

@@DrKeithScottMumby I wasn't intending to criticise your preferences. I was just making the point that people were very sniffy about his music at first and are now scrambling to include it in their programming. I found it quite hard to get into when I first heard it, but, even then, it seemed immeasurably better than much of the 'contemporary' stuff I've had the misfortune to record.

[@DrKeithScottMumby]

@@gharwood1356 Thank you for your courteous explanation G. I suppose the ultimate simplistic Pärt was Spiegel im Spiegel, which really got my bak up! Haha!

Hay mucho frio en las highlands. My hearth no piensa ir allí ni jarto vino porque ya está bien de tanto rollo con las highlands, cuando tod@s vienen a las downlands a tostarse, a jubilarse y a vivir sin la estufa encendida 7 meses al año.
