Free Music Notes for Arvo P?rt SanctuaryFree Music Review: Superb! Hit: 5 StarsThis album is a beautiful example of some of Arvo Part's best works. Each piece is thoroughly enjoyable and the entire collection makes a wonderful addition to anyone's music library. Arvo Part is one of the most important composers in contemporary music.
Free Music Review: Old World Sound to Calm the Senses Hit: 4 StarsBeautiful, pure, and often heavenly are my select words to describe this CD.
Free Music Review: NOT OF THIS WORLD Hit: 5 StarsTabula Rasa: Silentium : This music is not of this world. I worship/pray in silence while driving with this music on with a palm facing the windshield. The haunting, surreal background...the two main violins mournfully cries out aloud...yet so beautiful...my heart cries with them.
Free Music Review: Spare brilliance Hit: 5 StarsSpending a lot of words describing P?rt's music seems like defeating the purpose. It is transcendent, haunting, solemn, quiet, and all the other things the other reviewers say. I view it, stylistically, as somewhere between the minimalism of Glass et al, and the ambient textures of Steve Roach -- if that description makes any sense. I find myself a little more at home with his instrumental pieces than his choral work, but that's just personal preference.This is a good first P?rt CD -- then you can move on to other works, especially his Te Deum.
Free Music Review: Magnificat: Magnificent! Hit: 5 StarsI realize the title of this review is pretty silly, but I had to think of something. I have always enjoyed classical music, but not nearly as much as other genres... that is until a friend of mine gave me SANCTUARY. I listen to it all the time now. The genius of Arvo Part's music is that although it is quite somber, it is very beautiful. I think that if you don't like classical music now, you will once you listen to Arvo Part. My favourite piece is Magnificat, hence the title.
