To celebrate Arvo Pärt’s 80th birthday, Gimell presents a new recording of some of the Estonian composer’s finest a cappella choral works. This is the first album of contemporary music from The Tallis Scholars since their famous 1984 recording of works by John Tavener. The program here includes several major works including the Magnificat, Sieben Magnificat-Antiphonen, Triodion and I Am the True Vine. The album’s title refers to the compositional style Pärt developed in the 1970s and now employs in most of his works. This simple style was influenced by the composer’s mystical experiences with sacred chant. Tintinnabuli works often have a slow and meditative tempo and a minimalist approach to both notation and performance.
‘In their performance The Tallis Scholars have presented their chosen repertoire in the way they have always done best—as a sound world of profound beauty’ (Gramophone)
‘A disc of quite exceptional, at times heart-stopping, beauty. While there may be other Pärt recordings in this, his 80th birthday year, it is difficult to imagine there being a finer one’ (International Record Review)
