Arvo Part - Arvo Part: Alina

There have been other recordings of Fur Alina and Spiegel im Spiegel but none like those on this disc, realized with the participation of the composer. Here P�rt, aided by exceptional interpreters, revisits those seminally important compositions which marked the birth of a new, prismatic period in his work, establishing a link between compositions embodying the fundamental traits of the tintinnabuli style. Three interpretations of the duet 'Spiegel im Spiegel' (Mirror in the Mirror), for violin or cello and piano, become formal pillars positioned before, between and after two solo renderings of 'Fur Alina', the latter performed with interpretive freedom by Alexander Malter. Recorded 1995 Personnel: Vladimir Spivakov (violin), Sergev Bezrodny (piano), Alexander Malter (piano), Dietmar Schwalke (cello)
