Gidon Kremer, Keith Jarrett, & Dennis Russell Davies - Arvo Part: Tabula rasa

Arvo P�rt's epochal, best-selling recording of Tabula rasa on ECM New Series has been reissued with new packaging and track listing.

Tabula rasa launched the New Series in 1984, and the interpretations of P�rt's unique compositions by Gidon Kremer, Keith Jarrett, Dennis Russell Davies and Alfred Schnittke and other artists changed the landscape of contemporary music. At the composer's request the work Tabula rasa has now been separated into two tracks (Ludus and Silentium) on this revised CD.

This CD re-issue is quite separate from the Tabula rasa special limited edition book/CD version also released in September 2010. Both closely follow the acclaimed release on ECM New Series of the world premiere recording of P�rt's Symphony No. 4 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Esa-Pekka Salonen.

Personnel: Gidon Kremer (violin), Keith Jarrett (piano), Staatsorchester Stuttgart & Dennis Russell Davies (conductor), The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Tatjana Grindenko (violin), Alfred Schnittke (prepared piano), Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra & Saulus Sondeckis (conductor)
