About
This album by pianist Reinis Zariņš and the Trio Palladio is a special personal tribute to composer Arvo Pärt (b. 1935), one of the most influential composers of our time. This album includes Pärt’s timeless piano works together with a selection of his chamber works, including the famous Für Alina, Fratres and Spiegel im Spiegel alongside his early works. The programme also includes two special dedications by two Latvian composers, Georgs Pelēcis and Andrejs Selickis, who both as composers have been greatly influenced by Arvo Pärt’s example and ideas. These two works, written in 2025 for Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday, receive their first recordings.
