About

In honor of Arvo Pärt's 85th birtdhday on September 11, 2020

Arvo Pärt’s compositions were and are often inspired by external circumstances. Evidence of this can be seen in the selection of works for and with piano, which Onutė Gražinytė chose for her debut recording. The “Lamentate” was inspired by Anish Kapoor’s sculpture “Masyas”; in 1977 he dedicated the Variations for the healing of Arinushka” to his daughter; “Pari intervallo” was inspired by the ensemble “Hortus Musicus”, and the list goes on... “Für Alina” is of particular importance to the Lithuanian pianist as she knows the mother of the piece’s dedicatee. Onutė Gražinytė was astounded by the simple notation. “First you ask yourself: What is this?” Her playing reveals that she has understood. “Arvo Pärt has reached the core. It’s no coincidence that he dedicated many piano pieces to children and let a boy sing the “Our Father”.

It’s the pure ideal that children are born with, and to which the composer has returned.” Recorded at Lithuanian National Philharmonic Hall, May 2020, and Lithuanian National Culture Centre Recording Studio, April 2019 (Lamentate)

Enthralling performances of Pärt’s piano works; in Lamentate, Gražinytė is transfixing, her instrument an equal partner that never peeks above the orchestra’s parapet of sound. Sublime.

December 2020

This is a wondrously thought-provoking anthology of Pärt’s work...Lamentate is exactly what it sets out to be, and, in a performance as attuned to its internal resonance as this, is profoundly moving...Gražinytė˙’s understanding of what Pärt is about is also clearly evident in the remainder of the album..This performance of Fratres, with cellist Edward King, is one of the best I have ever heard, balancing vertiginously on the tightrope of delicacy and power.
