@peter1945

we're not getting a new consciousness now.

[faroenmano]

I have no words. All I would like to say is immersed in this beautiful music.

[gaelleman]

Arvo Part create the beauty

[gmihut]

I wonder if this is the voice of God!?



[BGNikBG]

@gmihut not really

It's not like the buddhistic way where you have a great joy beyond words when you feel one with all human beings or in nirvana. The aim in the faith of Starez SIlouan is not a isolated joy but perfect love and perfect humility. A love without tears and pain in heart is not a real love. Perhaps this pain we can hear in this video. Or other aspect: To reach complete humilty saint silouan held often his mind in hell, where he felt himself very faraway from god, what "innocentful" wrote.

[Jojangamer13]

ich bin wiener und will euch sehn !!!

I think there are also other aspects. Yes, I also think its about orthodoxy. It helped me quite to understand this music piece by reading the book of starez silouan and his biography by starez sophrony.

Saint Silouan was a giant of ascetism and love. He was on a such high spiritual level that he felt all the sorrow and sin of human history. We can not imagine that deep state of human heart and mind. Shedding tears for all people day and night he prayed to God for their souls.

[guruofpiano]

Awesome!! I enjoyed this very much. All the best and thumbs up. G.

[Vivaldifriend]

Thank you.

[mtoussieh]

where do you play these things? Is that a church? It comes out in a lot of your videos, and I suppose from the religious setting that it might be a church. Congratulations on your great work, we hope one day you come to Israel to give us a life performance.

[Peter1945]

@mtoussieh Yes it is played in a church, built in the time of Mozart in the 4. district in Vienna. Look at our "Kol Nidrei", I think you will like it too ! We will like to come to Israel if someone invites us to come. One of our members in the time of beginning our work was an Israelian musician. She studied in Vienna.

[mtoussieh]

@mtoussieh Thank you so much! I loved how you played that Kol Nidrei, really full of feeling. Thanks!

I wonder who I could suggest to invite you to Israel, but I can try here in my university. I don't know how to get to the right people who are in charge of events but I know they have successfully invited great performers before, so I think if I get to the person in charge somehow it should be able to happen! Thanks again! :-)

[hermanzoon]

@mtoussieh Many times concerts are played in churches because the acoustics are the best in such places.

[hanenburgB]

i think i just had the same reaction as one of the ladies in the audience after listening to this. such a beautiful, heart-felt piece. arvo part has to be one of my top favorite composers. like his other works it is, so powerful and rich in nuance.

[TheMaliPerica]

Great work, but I don't like when artists mix art and religion like in this piece. Art should be religion free especially in modern days.

[innocentul]

oh, if only will can be put in words ..or music..but everithing must stop..you see, because of our thorts we can't pass thru our hearts, cause there is were our mind should stay, and the RATIONAL temptation, is a wall between us and happyness..how can you pass that?you can only by doing what Jesus did..let your self crucified.the peace of the cross,finally at peace!.. look at Jesus in a orthodox icon,(really look)!is not torsionated like at the catolic image.search more my friend

[innocentul]

the people are listening to Arvo but they don' t know what he sings about.. it's about orthodoxy.. these is what western world is missing:(( Saint Silouane.. the meanning in orthodoxy is a state were after many years of innerprayer the bad thorts dessapear ,BUT!, after a while, the good ones will desapear to!! and then, a Light will apear ,the one that Adam lost, the one that brings a differnt way of Life.. words can't express the peace, the silance, the rest, the Love and the joy of the soul..

[Peter1945]

@innocentul Thanks for your information ! I think, this process started yesterday !

[innocentul]

@Peter1945 i'm not following you.. what process you think it started yesterday?

[Peter1945]

@innocentul .... I meant, we are getting a new consciousness now .....

[shergo84]

@Peter1945 yes, and that's what practitioners of Zen, Yoga, Sufism, and other traditions also aspire to.

[triknia]

@innocentul

Really ...thanks for the information about it !!! Best greetings

[metavoia]

@innocentul Thank you for explaining this! I am not Orthodox, but have just discovered the writings of Archimandrite Sophrony and St. Silouan. This is a treasure the west is greatly in need of. I am overjoyed and amazed to have this music from Arvo Part to remind me!

[68LVC]

music as Theophany.

[IsisSlovenska]

VRAIMENT UNIQUE************************­****

[Peter1945]

@IsisSlovenska If you like the orchestra which I was part of it´s soul (co-founder) listen to "philharmonic women" (Google) or look for "Izabella Shareyko" (conductor and artistic manager ! Thanks for your comment !

[IsisSlovenska]

@Peter1945 @ IsisSlovenska Si te gusta la orquesta que yo era parte de ella es el alma (co-fundador) escuchar a las "mujeres filarmónica" (Google) o buscar "Izabella Shareyko" (director de orquesta y director artístico!

[IsisSlovenska]

@Peter1945 ....OK!!! Love Isis

[IsisSlovenska]

@Peter1945 Grazie!!!!

[serefemme]

Achingly beautiful. Arvo Part definitely appreciates and brings all aspects to his work, both in music and in silence.

[Kurkgrand]

A music that comforts and relieves the terrible pain of existence. Part is not only a great composer but a great doctor.

[PhilippineJeann]

Peter I can only dream that one day I have an orchestra so well in order to be my accompaniment! Very impressive! 100 stars from Jeann

[howdoesitfeel]

A good but somewhat lacking interpretation. Kaljuste's version from the "Te Deum" album is clearly the definitive performance.

[Offtofott]

I stand up. Excellent !

[musicamultimedia]

Bella e nobile interpretazione di un grande brano!

A noble intepretation of a great piece!

[fatlumi1974]

it`s so powerful.for the first time i`ve heard in the documentary warphotographer by Christian Frei and I`ve cryed.I`ts so sad even combining with the horrifing war images from Kosovo,Rwanda etc.

[willhum]

The sound of a human soul reaching for God and put to music..... makes me cry is so beautiful..... Te Deum is a fantastic album!

[68LVC]

music as epiphany.

[KoekaZ]

Captivating performance...

I love the silences in between. They make it majestic all the more.

Thank you for sharing.

[Kahavat]

Beautiful... !!!

Beautiful... !!!

[hibrazil]

BRAVO!

[luisortmul]

nice baton technique!!!!

quite inspiring conducting.

Thanks for the comment on the 'asian babes'... it is not patronising and stupidly macho at all

[christomacin]

there are some really hot Asian babes in this orchestra...anyway, unlike Reich, Adams, and Glass i think the European "minimalists" like Part and Gorecki have much more musical worth and integrity, and is more likely to last. I still don't like it as much as Classical music from the "golden age" (IMHO, from 1650 to 1950), but still is worthy of the great Western musical tradition. It is generally much better than the atonal period, although I like some atonal music more than American minialism

[Gehenna212]

This performance is real good. Does anyone know which cd of Pärt is the best version of this song?

[aurakd]

BACH of 21st century

[heldenman]

the double bass comes in way too early aroun 3:46... nevertheless, nice performance.

[jmhollabaugh]

This is absolutely beautiful. Unearthly, haunting. Arvo Part is really a unique composer to create/see such beauty in this time.

[jimbeamrye]

its so moving

[federika68]

Wonderful music!

[lionsteve29]

also used in the amazing documentary War Photographer...

the music makes you want to cry,, how can music be so powerful?

[yourforte]

So very beautiful

[abacurro]

Mój Boże, jakie to piękne!!!

[toliasdxs]

Amazing...

[160R]

Arvo Pärth?

[oooodaxteroooo]

Arvo Pärt. Thank you, STÜBA. :)

[160R]

Of course I know who the great Arvo Pärt is :)

I mean that at beginning of video appears Arvo Pärth instead of Arvo Pärt. So was wondering if the mistake is part of TV video... because being wrong with the name you are making a video for TV is a big mistake!

[mamagas]

bravissime lode ad Arvo Part

[stevtomato]

Arvo Pärt is AWESOME!

[boltonjack]

arvo part and bach are the two greatest ever in my mind

[Musicxpert]

In my opinion Arvo Pärt is the best composer ever.

[Johammonia]

Wonderful.

[renorijs]

wow, every time i hear arvo part i realise more and more what a brilliant composer he is, truly soul rending..

[joculator]

Lovely

[kleenmpp]

yes,it refers to staretz silouan.

[michaelarden21]

I can't stop wanting to hear this again and again. It puts me in touch with reality. I have just ordered a CD of same. Thank you! Do you know if the Silouan of the title refers to the Orthodox monk from Athos of the same name - Staretz Silouan?

[kleenmpp]

i feel the same about this music.a few years ago i was hitchhiking,and the man who picked me up had this music running in the car.i was so deeply touched that i nearly couldn´t hold back tears.arvo pärt has done wonderful records such as te deum and misere.

[PIPhilMarlowe]

Stunningly beautiful.

[Thurisaz314159]

They played this at the end of The Good Shepherd.

[freetyler1]

Interesting! Thank you for pointing it out.

[Elevatormusicmaker]

I probably sound like a retard, but im wondering why the sheet music says Torelli and the title of this video is Arvo Part?

[xzeroine]

They might have played Torelli 2?

[abrashTX]

A beautiful performance--thanks for sharing!

[lbigbadbob]

A wonderful performance.

[nadyayo]

I warmly and kindly invite this group in Bulgaria! We are in a desperate need for this music!

[Peter1945]

We would like to go everywhere, where our music is loved !

[mogeezer]

We need someone to bring this group to the US. They would be a great success on tour here.
