My wife of 56 yrs died 6 weeks ago. This music brings me an extraordinary sense of peace. I can only believe that Aarvo Paart must have also suffered a profound loss to have composed this music.
this piece reminds me so much of a piece by Mozart I inly heard once, a very short one he composed after his mother died. Those two are so similar in painting a very special being. I never found that piece of Mozart, btw., again.
The one sure thing in life is death and we all have suffered profound losses, if we live long enough. The mystery about this music is, that Arvo Pärt took inspiration in Western and Eastern Christian worship music. The mystery is Jesus Christ, who can ease your suffering and pain and give you comfort, that you will meet your wife again in Heaven. The gospel message in the Bible is references by my name. God Bless!
@@BrigitteRieser According to Wikipedia, that piece would be Piano Sonata No. 8. But, it also could be a confusion of names, if that is not it: The German Requiem by Brahms is famous for being the piece written under inspiration by the grief of the death of the composer's mother. God Bless! Back to Mozart, his piano concerto No. 20 is also famous for being dark and written under inspiration of grief and so is his violin concerto No. 21, K304.
@@1corinthians15.1-4kjv the second movement (andante) certainly evokes that short piece. But, it was not a sonata, if I remember correctly. Anyway, thank you for reminding me of the sonata, haven't heard it in ages.
Whenever I listen to this I sink in to nothing, nothing surrounds me and holds me. The only thing there is, is this music. I'm not even sure I exist. It's impossible to explain the feeling. I suffer with depression and stress, this piece is my sanctuary, my heaven.
You exist by the only fact that you can express your feelings ! I hope the following piece may bring you some peace (the name of the extract...) . it is juste pure beauty ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oou2ywIbRxc.html "Orpheo and eurydice" by Gluck.
Dear friend, may I please ask you, how are you doing now? If you're not comfortable talking about it online, I understand. I just want to let you know someone in Amsterdam sees you and feels your sufferings. Take care my friend. Liefs from me to you
My wife listened to these pieces after giving birth at home to our daughter, and for quite some time thereafter. It was restorative and calming for her and the baby.
Living in Tallinn for a year as a young 20 something was the worst and best decision of my life. I discovered Pärt and found out that I had a soul. It was worth the tears, errors, pain, and regrets.
Today is rainy in Estonia and my little baby is playing on the floor while with a coffee I look out from the window. Images of a coming autumn. One year later my baby is walking while hugging her dolls. My emotions are still there...
I live in the state of Georgia, in the U.S. Our leaves here are dry, and not yet turning colors as they used to do before the climate change. When they do begin to change, I look forward to the celebration of Winter Solstice at our Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Athens, Ga. and the return of the Humming birds from Central and South America. And this work of music just tears my soul apart. Heaven bless.
Великолепная, чарующая, очищающая душу хрустальными каплями любви, музыка с небес. Арво Пярт - это дар Бога нам, людям живущим на Земле. Спасибо, Маэстро!
Somewhere deep inside all of us, there must be this simple and pristine beauty.....how else would we be able to be so deeply moved by this gentle piece of music? We are living in these darker times and this music reminds me that life is so sacred filled with beauty. Feeling such gratitude and pray for Peace.
When I heard this for the first time I began to weep uncontrollably, I was so moved. I cried the tears I wanted to when my mother died but couldn't. There was so much pain and loss that was haunting me, that I thought I'd been handling. A friend startled me when he asked if I was alright a few weeks ago. When I pressed him for why he asked, he revealed that he had observed a black aura around me the last time we were together. I didn't know what that meant but joked about it at the time. We carry so much around with us, sometimes unaware of how is affecting us. This song filled me with such release. Yes I wept, like I have never wept in my life, but felt as if a huge weight had been lifted. Later I began to explore how others were moved in a similar way by Arvo's composition. I have listened to other artists playing this, and always am moved, but only this recording affects me so profoundly every time I hear it.
I weep. Mike Nicholls and Emma Thompson wrote a screenplay for a movie called Wit. They used his opening movement. Hauntingly beautiful. I love this guy.
MrDoug, my name is Noam. I’m a freelance radio journalist doing a piece about the stories people shared on this page. I’m wondering if I could speak to you about your story. I found it pretty moving. You can email me at noamosband@gmail.com Thanks!
Lucky You. f.e. One of my neighbour go with Mr H. M. Górecki to same year in elementary school, but differets classes. She is lucky. ...but I think H. Górecki and Hans Zimmer music is gloomier than W. Kilar, J. Horner, A. Part, E. Morricone and K. Penderecki music.
Is this true, brother? If it´s, hope you finally meet him someday and even talk with that wonderfull person than I believe he is. Greetings from Mexico.
I put this in background and went to kitchen to wash the dishes...30 minutes on and I'm still looking outside through the window that's in front of the sink...I did not turn on the water yet...
This is EXACTLY what this music provokes in me...something has just happened, not earth shattering but something, important and the music rises up and the person turns to look out and in to see to understand to find words and thoughts. Actually this song just a couple of days ago made me sit and start to write! I am a writer, you can actually find my book here: www.amazon.com/Joy-Bliss-This-Teachers-Journey-ebook/dp/B07BC6WL9B
It is remarkable how the cello version calming and comforting, while the violin and viola versions are calming and yet almost move to tears. They suit different moods so well. Nice to scroll through the comments while listening, especially at this time of virus distancing.
Something so intangible and melancholic about this music. It brings back memories of my youngest sister passing away suddenly five months ago in Boston. 🌹
questa musica ha davvero qualcosa di speciale con la sua lentezza e semplicità sembra che annulli il tempo e regali attimi di eternità. Come se appartenesse ad un'altra dimensione tempo spazio. Tocca il cuore e lascia una forte commozione e ricordo per ciò che siamo se solo volessimo. Tornare ad amare come quando eravamo piccoli.
This is an exquisite piece. It enacts rain dripping after rainfall with the paino. The cello repeats the thought motif, and the bass piano enacts the casting of a stone into a still pond and watching the ripples dissipate.
Ich sitze nach einem herbstlichen Tag voller Farben und einem Spaziergang am Meer von pernau hier in Estland vor einem wunderschoenen jugenstim Kamin.. Und staune über die ordnen de kraft dieser Musik, die einen zum innehalten von Gedanken zwingt, in ihren Bann zieht. Alles unnötige scheint einem ungebührluch. Essenz
Music that makes us stop. Listen. Really listen and think. Those questions and sometimes the answers come by themselves with his music. Today, people have almost forgotten to listen mainly to their own hearts. Arvo Pärt revives this ability with his tones. Beautiful recording - thank you and send a silent greeting from the Czech Republic.
Arvo Part is a deeply religious man. This is the result of great talent ad deeply held loves and convictions. Peaceful music composed from a place of peace. Thank you Mr Part. Thank you Lord!
Past all things, there is a silence that we hardly listen to. Yet we all crave for it when there are few gateways to that silence. This piece show you few steps toward that gateway.
Happened to hear this live in a church performance over 10 years ago; had no idea who Part was. A transcendent experience; I couldn't speak all the way home.
I’m sat on my bed tears rolling down my cheeks, I should be writing a dissertation. But instead I have the honour of listening to Arvo’s soul being played on a violin. Bless you AP.
Thank you Mr Arvo, beautiful piece, beautiful peace, you must be a peaceful mind, a modest person, a man who draws wisdom from pain and hardship, a consistent man towards his destiny. It seems that you did not betray your fate. Thank you. Thanks Brilliant Classics, thank you Benjamin Hudson, Sebastian Klinger Jürgen Kruse for the nice work, the beutiful performance
I am so moved, but that words, as crude as they can be...utterly crude, but again...I am moved, and so far from just mere words, oh...and that oh so sweet viola, which now has to be my most favored of all the stringed instruments....THANK YOU!!!...
Just heard the final movement of this work on my car radio and almost brought me to tears. So happy that I have traced the entire work here is You Tube. This is such a beautiful piece of music.
This music has a special something that goes deep inside and calms that which needs calming. I forgot what I was thinking about almost instantly and cannot recall it even now after.
This piece of beautiful music is so ??? Charming, profound , sentimental , sad , ...... cleansing my soul and my heart melted with its melody . First time hear it tonight ! It has been echoing in me.... I cannot stop listening to it !
Je pense sérieusement que Arvo Pärt puise dans le royaume entre la vie et la mort, un domaine puissant qui maintient en quelque sorte la vie et la mort dans un flux et reflux .. Merci Arvo pour ce que vous nous transmettez !
Spiegel in spiegel, beautiful melody that put me on tears. Here Feb 2021 some persons I know or their relatives are dying because of Covid-19. This music confort me in the middle of the pandemic
This piece of heaven starts with raindrops (or teardrops ....), while the rain is making the flowers and the trees from the little meadow to let themselves washed from the night stillness and sleepiness. It also makes me imagine a mother hugging her child, head on her knees, while she caresses the child,s head. The same feelings I am trying when listening to Beethoven,s Moonlight Sonata. That piece is as beautiful as Arvo's.
I see the wind in the swaying trees and gentle lovers hiding under green boughs shielded from soft falling rain, and they smile. I see sad faces yearning for solace and children hugging their parents. I see warm red sunsets that bring tears to my eyes and hear the earth whispering low in my ears.I see mother growing old and realise that I never knew her, and I want to. I see my son, but only in my dreams and I reach out to give him my love, but someone turns him away. I know I feel all this.
I listen to this music every night just before sleeping. It makes me calm and down and give me a kind of peace in mind. I just go into the deep my world during listening this one. Thanks God to send us this music through the Arvo’s ability.
There is a heaven on Earth and I'm there right now. Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece. Thanks, too of course to Mr Part for composing this stunning work and the musicians for performing it with such grace and splendour.
I heard this at first while saying goodbye to you, Pieter. Thank you for who you where, and who you will become. Much love and piece. Untill we will meet again... someday. Jacq.
Put this on after work last night, midnight (shifts bleh)! By accident, I landed on Classic FM! Was flawed by this piece. Felt the day she’d from me, like a second skin. Got me right in the feels about halfway through! So grateful when Margherita Taylor mentioned the title piece at the end🙏. Playing it now as I right this....aren’t we all!, 🙏😳🎤
These cords are as if a child awoke to find herself riding on a point of light on the fringe of a spiraling arm of a galaxy and in awe that she awoke at all and in a deeper awe at the timeless cosmic ocean in motion as she views from her humble vantage point.
I discovered this piece while watching a video of Issac Levitan...it's beautiful..I now play it while I paint...my thoughts move back and forth through my memories and hold me there...crying happy loving thoughts...thank you Arvo.
Wunderschöne und durchsichtige Interpretation dieses perfekt konstruierten Meisterwerks im stabilen Tempo mit seidigem Ton der Violine, klarem Klang des Klaviers, mildem Ton der Bratsche und tiefem Ton des Cellos. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den drei Virtuosen ist echt unvergleichlich. Einfach wunderbar!
@@notaire2 ja ich hoffe ihnen geht es gut privat beruflich und in der Gesundheit?Bin zur Zeit in einer schwierigen lage und freue mich für meine Lieblings Töne in meinen Ohren ....Mr Notaire2.. genießen wir es .. Lg aus bayern vom Balkon
@@toheaveninjoy Who is this 'Him' ?? You have no single jot of evidence for 'him', merely your yearning need for him to exist. Naturally, you enjoy the freedom to believe what you choose to want to believe, but do spare us, the less deluded, from these bizarre notions, please.
The relaxation I get from Part makes me stop being anxious for a second and breathe the music in; however, when I get back to the real world the depression kicks in even harder. So as long as I am always listening to Part everything is OK :D
Arvo Paert brought this (his) music to the world. Many of us will begin letting it resonate inside.... After breathing it in and letting it resonate inside I try to exhale it into this world, even into a quite often grey one. Paert adds the colour of love (or whatever it represents for the listener). I thrive on the effects of his music on the world! Thank you so much, Arvo!
Écouter Arvo Pärt élève l'esprit ; *toutes* ses oeuvres interpellent, de manière sans cesse différente, -- souvent... sublime. Quelle inspiration ! Quel artiste ! Voilà 30 ans qu'il m'enchante.
J'ai 30 ans et ne le découvre que maintenant, je désire maintenant l'écouter 30ans de plus... Le hasard fait bien les choses car c'est du pur hasard lorsque j'ai écouté ses chants au chœur un peu grégorien' tabula rasa et da pacem et ce fut une révélation wooooaaaaaa
'Da Pacem Domine', 'Salve Regina' et 'Spiegel im Spiegel' sont mes chansons favoris d' Arvo Part. Il n'y a pas d'autre musique qui nourris mon âme comme Monsieur Pärt .
Oui écouter la musique de M. Arvo Part élève l’âme et l’esprit. Je reste subjugué par tant de talent. Depuis 15 ans pas un jour ne s’écoule sans avoir écouté tel ou tel œuvre et jamais je ne m’en lasse . Lors d’un concert nous avons eu un échange via son interprète et cela m’interpelle encore.... Puisse t’il encore longtemps nous enchanter par ces compositions....
За возможность услышать эту тонкую, очень интересную музыку - спасибо. Действительно "игра" - интеллектуальная. Моцарт под другим ракурсом, в другом контексте. Очень интересно! Такую музыку Арво Пярта я раньше не слышала.
Музыка Арво Пярта - самое простое выражение абсолютной красоты в этом виде искусства. Есть какая-то колоссальная глубина во всем этом...и это возвращает прежде всего к стилю Баха.
The Für Alina album is so special to me. I used to listen to it every morning while commuting 70 minutes by train into NYC. This music was my sanity as I entered such a harsh environment. I now use it as the background for when I do Reflexology on clients.
How weak human beings are in this Covid crisis, but how great Man is, considering his ability to create pure beauty leading us towards confort and alleviation... Thank you Arvo Part for this sublime and ethereal music !
Es un compositor contemporáneo ÚNICO . Toda su musica es maravillosa. Éste disco me hace etéreo . Me toca todas mis fibras. Celebro a ARVO PART. Larga vida a éste músico. Lo abrazo con el corazón y el alma desde el otro lado del continente y de un lugar de la tierra. México
To return to Arvo Part's Spiegel im Spiegel is good - I discovered this piece through the movie 'Wit' with Emma Thompson...instantly it slows me down...helps me breathe deep - there is surrendering thru the phases and ascension -sublime, comforting and bittersweet... thank you for posting - M
This wonderful created makes me feel like a floating feather on the calm lake.Thanks alot of my dear friend for sending me this great one, after a while I feel like that sense again and again... ❤️
Complimenti alla Brilliant per la sua strategia commerciale.Ascoltato,condiviso e immediatamente acquistato per meglio ascoltarlo sul mio impianto stereo.Bravi
