90 Years of Arvo Pärt: A Reflection. Merton College Choir and Britten Sinfonia
Merton College Choir and Britten Sinfonia
Arvo Pärt’s haunting Fratres (Brothers) opens this concert, music that somehow manages to be both still and unsettled at the same time. Similarly, his Berlin Mass takes the listener on a journey that encompasses both moments of quiet devotion and full-blooded declarations of faith. Pärt’s music is complemented by that of John Tavener, with his spine-tingling Song for Athene, a work made famous after featuring in the funeral service for Diana, Princess of Wales. Haydn’s starkly powerful ‘Mass for Troubled Times’ closes the evening.
