Arvo Pärt always hits different. Simple yet magnificent.
The most beautiful music I've ever heard. It still hits every cell in my body in a special way.
This piece should have no end.
It's truly incredible
Ah. This piece gives me sadness and serenity at the same time!
Always thanks for beautiful music.
I find this music so intriguing!
It‘s a steady sound but still going infinitely downwards, forever and ever, mixing beauty and disharmony.
Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten
Il suono che ascolta il nostro dolore. Quando scrisse il "Cantus in memory of Benjamin Britten" Pärt viveva ancora in Unione Sovietica, dove la sua musica non era molto amata. Il compositore ricorda così l’effetto che fece su di lui la notizia della morte di Britten: «Negli anni passati abbiamo dovuto piangere molte perdite nel mondo della musica. Perché il giorno della morte di Benjamin Britten - il 4 dicembre 1976 - mi ha toccato così nel profondo? A quel tempo ero evidentemente arrivato a comprendere l’immensità di questa perdita. Era nato in me un inspiegabile senso di colpa. Avevo riscoperto Britten, e poco prima della sua morte ho cominciato ad apprezzare l’insolita purezza della sua musica. Ho anche desiderato incontrarlo di persona - ma non era destino». Pärt concepisce dunque questo Cantus come una breve trenodia, e la costruisce con semplici materiali diatonici, ma con il medesimo rigore della musica seriale, tanto da essere stato definito come «un’ingegnosa dichiarazione di guerra all’atonalità». Il brano è costruito su due dimensioni: quella verticale, degli archi, che partono da registri molto alti, in una cadenza regolare ad intervalli discendenti, arrivano alla fine ad uniformarsi in un tono (forse attorno ad un Sol, ad orecchio non-assoluto), che è come una tenebrosa vibrazione di fondo. La rappresentazione immediata che viene alla mente è quella del passaggio dalla vita (note altissime) alla morte (registro basso). A questa discesa verticale è associata una dimensione orizzontale, regolare anche questa ma ad intervalli più larghi, di una campana: batte il ritmo della vita, ma il suono è significativamente di tono grave, a rammentare che ogni momento della vita è un passo verso la morte (il rintocco finale). Musica che emoziona, come poche altre comunque - in fondo imperscrutabile.
Thank you for your wonderful words! Both, Britten & Pärth, are geniuses & REAL humans... Amen from Germany...
This composition's so beautiful that my heart stopped for a moment!
You should see a doctor about that
Oh, a funny man, hey?
After hearing this masterpiece, I'm now searching for Benjamin Britten
Like Arvo wanted - he unfortunately never got to meet him but his music touched him so much that he wrote this incredible tribute to him.
Hautingly beautiful and comforting.
absolute life. thank you
Unglaublich schön mit Worten zu beschreiben unmöglich, danke für ihr Werk. Danke das ich das hören darf.
RIP Alexei Navalny. For his family and for the Russian people: Personne n'a un plus grand amour que de donner sa vie pour ceux qu'il aime
What a patently foolish and out of place remark, actually showing disrespect for both men mentioned.
What a gorgeous piece. I've heard a little bit about how it was composed but I'm curious to learn more now!
There are no words that could do justice to the power of Arvo Part's music and art. He has the power to awaken the Holy Spirit. This is the saddest and most mournful song I've ever heard - and yet, it is also not sad. It has too much love in it to be ultimately sad. There is joy in it, at the end, in that last ringing of the bell - sustaining the whole world before it fades to silence. The miracles are in the paradoxes - and Arvo Part's music is a kind of miracle, that one man could summon such power through music.
Thank you Mr. Part, and thank you to the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra for this beautiful and heartfelt rendition! You are a gift to the world.
Quelle merveilleuse interprétation, envoûtante et intemporelle musique.... J'ai beau la réécouter encore et encore, la magie opère toujours, entre tension et apaisement !
A page really sublime, moreover an outstanding performance!! Bravi! Bravi!! Bravissimi!!!
I think it‘s a shame to play an advertisement during the video!
Not a shame.. it's illegal..
Just pay 1 buck for yt premium
Shows that people sometimes posting stuff they don't really know...
Get Opera (or any free vpn) we are not in china. ;-)
A blasphemy you mean...
I feel like I've just learned the meaning of life and every philosophical theory at the same time
Marvelous
This made me feel things o.o. Amazing Work!!!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely gorgeous
Oh my....it came beautifully into me...thanks for sharing!!
Thats what she said. 😉
Nicky Minaj or some flavor of the week will get millions of views and this has,as of now, just over 45.000. Something is wrong with this planet
Each to his own.
Dudes who get zero pussy be like
How we experience music is highly subjective.
Be fortunate and be grateful that you can feel this masterpiece 🎉🙏💐
Einfach wunderbar!!!
That tintinabulli mahn.... gets you every time
It is obscene to interrupt this music with a commercial.
This made me cry for the Human spirit. Sadness with hope for better Humanity. Slava Ukraine.
Contemporary composers who write 'music' with no shape, no melody, no rhythm have much to learn from the simplicity of this sublime piece. I'm hearing it live in a few days and can't wait.
Sublime
That guy having to play the same note 32 times is the hero.
I'm so glad for him that he didn't mess up the last one and come in late. That would have been terrible.
The sound of Pacha Mama is not ending soon, alas we all hope...
Maravilhosoooooooo!!!!!!!
Sublime performance. The perfect balance between the pulsing bell and the ever-so-slowly growing crescendo. Something the French orchestra with the Japanese director botched from the beginning, playing far too loud (another performance on UA-cam)! Thank you for sharing this !!!!!
I think that recording was just poorly done. Mics were probably too sensitive or something like that. In this Norwegian recording, you can hear the conductor turn his page loud and clearly. It shows how different the quality of the recording is. The French one was too sensitive and especially towards the middle strings.
Perfection.

Evocative of Orthodox chant...

FLINK!!!
Stop.
One of my favorite pieces of all time. It hits an emotional depth that very few works can come close to. I discovered Arvo Part 20 years ago and continue to find gems as streaming has opened up access to his music, as he is certainly not heard much in most popular classical music outlets (at least in the US).
The way this is performed by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra seems a touch slower than most I have heard and for me it brings out even a greater sense of tragedy leading to a gorgeous devastating finish. Tragic but not depressing, devastating but not final, simply sublime....
