  • Excellent interpretation, good synchronism, crystalline sound, thanks.

  • An interesting detail is that 'Hymn to a Great City' was originally a piece for orchestra by Reinhold Gliere (part of his orchestral suite 'The Bronze Horseman'). It would play in the mornings and evenings on the Moscow Station in Leningrad, where people took the 'red arrow' train to Moscow. Of course, it was quite different from this piece, but you can clearly hear where Pärt quotes it.

  • Thank you for posting this. Stillspotting was incredible. This is such a beautiful performance of this wonderful piece. You play beautifully.

  • i'm glad that Arvo Pärt is estonian :)

  • @8422hdbb Yes it was New York City of course. I heard the Guggenheim is doing a project with him in September. check it out

  • BTW, I love this performance, bravi, guys!!!!!!!!

  • @shanebai Thanks for the image of the stars twinkling. I will play this piece soon and your image will help a lot!

  • I wish I knew, but perhaps Part wanted to leave the details to the listener!
