The grandeur of simplicity
Paul Hillier possesses a special rapport with the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, with whom he has worked for many years, patiently exploring the different facets of his music. This boxed set assembles this major recording legacy (1996-2012) in its entirety for the first time. It represents a significant milestone in our understanding of Pärt’s unique musical universe, characterised by a purity and inwardness inherited from the great tradition of Gregorian chant.
