    • @davidfitzgerald2681
      @davidfitzgerald2681 Год назад +2

      I think it's just that she's not afraid to attack the instrument. There's vehemence to it, and that's so often missing when people get too reverential about the score. There's also an ECM recording of this where Keith Jarrett attacks the piano in the same way. This is a wonderful performance.

    • @davidfitzgerald2681
      @davidfitzgerald2681 Месяц назад

      This is a wonderful performance, right down to those last two touches on the violin. You're also dead right about that Keith Jarrett recording, which was the first bit of Pärt I'd ever heard. After that I was totally hooked. 'Guts' and 'Attack' are absolutely the correct words here!

    Utterly sublime.

  • @TheTF2Pianist
    @TheTF2Pianist 2 года назад +5

    First time I heard this piece was RIGHT AFTER I put down a pet of mine. (I had a music class right after it, and I logged into Zoom and just left the camera off.) The Music Theory professor showed this piece to the class and then called it a day. It gave me a sense of reflection and peace. This is such a beautiful piece, I'm glad I was introduced to it.

  • @smeagle17
    @smeagle17 3 года назад +48

    Fratres (meaning "Brothers" in latin) is a musical work by the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt exemplifying his tintinnabuli style of composition.[1] It is three-part music, written in 1977, without fixed instrumentation and has been described as a “mesmerising set of variations on a six-bar theme combining frantic activity and sublime stillness that encapsulates Pärt’s observation that ‘the instant and eternity are struggling within us’.” Beautifully captured by Anne.

    • @Ab-vw2sg

      Classical musicians are especifically taught to keep playing in tempo no matter what happens, a mistake, one musician's instrument breaks, whatever.
      In an ensemble, the roof would have to collapse over one of the musicians for the others to stop, and even then I'm not sure they would stop at all.
      If all the hairs on the bow snapped, she would probably first try to grab another bow from wherever while the pianist was still playing.
      This is child's play. A single hair in her bow snapped? Whatever. I'm sure she's had worse.

    This composer is one of my greatest sources of inspiration, along with the Portuguese composers Fernando Lopes-Graça and Eurico Carrapatoso, regarding my own composition. Arvo Pärt has done with consonance what many others wouldn't have dared in the 20th century, which he has kept on doing. Thanks for the help on the development of modern tonality, Arvo Pärt.

    • @toposterity

      What I like the most is the simplicity of his music, that along with refreshing harmony transforms music into pure gold. Almost a year ago I performed Brahms requiem in the choir and for me it was a very dificult task. I was bored during most of rehearsals because I was simply tired of hearing the same type of harmony over and over again. No wonder Part is the most performed composer while the composer himself is still alive. His music is majestic.
