Arvo Pärt 90: Tenebrae / Nigel Short Concerts

  • Tenebrae / George Herbert / Nigel Short

Estonian composer Arvo Pärt acts like an interface within the history of music. On the one hand, he is one of the most successful composers of so-called »new music«, even if he aesthetically quickly took his leave of the experiments of the post-war avant-garde. On the other hand, medieval Gregorian chant – a »music with soul, without harmony and metre«, as he once said – served him as the greatest source of inspiration. In this sense, it only seems logical that the acclaimed British choir Tenebrae has now created a programme that presents Pärt’s music in context with composers of the Middle Ages as well as the present.
