Isn't Arvo in that ECM documentary? I seem to recall seeing him in that. For me, I appreciate and respect him but have never picked up his recordings. Way back as soon as he started recording for ECM way back, the 'New Sounds' NPR radio program would play any new work by him, guaranteed. I recall hearing 'Tabula Rasa' as soon as it came out. Any time Arvo put out a record, it would be a feature on 'New Sounds' and I could follow him there just as sure as you were certain to hear the Rolling Stones played every single day on any mainstream FM Rock radio station back in the 1970's. I didn't even need to pick up his recordings to follow him as long as I tuned into 'New Sounds' , which at the time, I listened to almost every single night (as it was on then as now 7 days a week). John Schafer not only played the music but gave the total background of the recording as well, even more than the info featured with the actual recording. I don't even know exactly where he would get all the information from, though he often also had ECM recording artists interviewed frequently on his show, so I tend to think ECM was well aware of who Schaefer was and of 'New Sounds' an the shows importance in getting ECM music out there to listeners in the U.S., especially after the show got syndicated. . Nice seeing the pictures in the CD booklet, especially of Pierre. This is a very interesting overview of many years of Arvo's recordings. I now want to pull out that ECM documentary and view it again. Always love seeing these videos from my favorite outdoor corner of the world, but am looking forward to the indoor videos as well since now both of the 'kids' are together in the same space! -Gary
Hello Gary. Been thinking of you off and on. I usually ask myself how you are doing. Naturally, I do not answer myself. {smile} I just hope that everything is going well. Also hope that you have been in the creative flow and writing new music when you can. I know that the endless summer months are not your {and cousin Carm} favorite weather months of the year. That's what makes us all unique. I am starting to enjoy the cooler weather as I get older. Way better for sleeping. Plus I cannot get to the shores as much as I would like to. To many responsibilities. But anyways. This is not about me. I just hope you are doing well. Remember that you always have a pal here in Taxachusetts. Be talking to you soon Gary~ Rob/Boston
@@Paneeks1960 Hello brother Rob! Great to hear from you-I think of you often as well and always look for your comments on any VC videos I view. Hope you are doing great as well, and I do always think of you when these hot summer months come along, thinking 'well at least Rob is enjoying the heat'. Well, you're certainly correct about the cooler weather being easier to sleep in.... I've also been thinking of you especially in the last few days since the new season of BB has started (hope you're watching it still at this point?)..matter of fact the next episode starts in just a few minutes! So, hope all is OK with you and your mom as well, keep in touch! -Gary
Heya G, I think Arvo was part of that doc, though haven't seen it for a while. I naturally want to see it again too. Neat that he was featured so much on 'New Sounds', though not surprising. I suppose if he were featured on HOS weekly, I may have been less inclined to get the albums. It was such a revelation though hearing that, and knowing that music of that kind was still being made in this day and age...or at least the last quarter of the 20th century to the present day. Oh yes, that may have been my intro to Pierre too. I may take a break from videos, internet in general soon, though look forward to getting the furz back on soon. 🙂 Thanks as always good sir. -Carm from the yard
Thanks for the breakdown of the Arvo. I was digging it when you mentioned Circuit City and Coconuts. Two of our well respected competitors when I was working at Strawberries. Actually we had a Musicland and Sam Goody around us too. Good times. Wow. The list of compositions that Arvo has produced is mind blowing. I do remember you talking about his music and one of the albums that you bought of his some time ago. You have been listening to his music for quite a while now have you not? I will surely check some of it out. Impossible to check it all out. You mentioned a few that would be go-to albums for people just getting into his work. Which one would you suggest for me? Always a pleasure cousin Carm. Beautiful day out there on this Saturday morning. The first sunny Saturday morning in eight weeks. We take what we can get and run with it. My best to the family and of course yourself~ Rob/Boston
Hey cuz Rob, You bet..felt good to finally do this after years of thinking about it. Oh yes, well of course I remember those music shops too from way back when. Indeed, been a fan of Arvo's for nearly 30 years...Well, Tabula Rasa would be a good intro as anything else. On that particular album I showed, Keith Jarrett plays on one of the Fratres if I didn't mention that. I don't know how much classical you like, though his stuff even goes beyond that. Yes, it's nice and sunny here right now and not too warm yet. Hope our endless summer stays pleasurable from here on out. 🙂 Thanks as always, and peace, love, and abundant sunshine your way. -Carm
Hi Carm. I started this video some time ago then broke off to listen again to some of Part's music then forgot to double back to finish the video. This morning I dropped a quick comment from my doctor's waiting room while waiting to go in. It's been quite a ride! Thanks for the commentary here, it will inspire me to delve still further into AP's music. I've always enjoyed it but never fully got to grips with it. Perhaps this autumn will be the time.
Hey James, Do you mean the doctor's visit was quite a ride or Arvo's music...or a combination of both...? 🙂Either way, I hope all's well your way. Yes, autumn...winter perhaps even more so, are prime times to delve deeper into his universe. They go together well. Thanks much for watching quite the long video here, and look forward to catching up your way soon. -Carm
Hey Ingrid, Oh nice! I'm glad you're liking what you're hearing so far. I think you'd enjoy the Bjork interview if you haven't already seen it. Thanks much for joining me. Looking forward to catching up further soon. 🙂 -Carm
I had a friend come down from Austin to stay with me overnight along with his wife on their way north to Arkansas. He brought me Litany and Alina. I'm glad you got around to Alina, which I've yet to hear, but I'll try and put it on tonight. I listened some to some of Litany, but on inital listening wasn't won over by it or I should say I like parts of it over some of the parts. But of course, with a lot of classical music, it might takes many listens just to get used to what's going on. Anish Kapoor, cool in the insert, and also Cloud Gate the famous sculpture in Chicago. I knew I had heard that sculputor's name, but still had to look him up. The CD I ordered from Nels Cline is Initiate. Two CD set, one CD studio and one live set. It hasn't gotten here yet, but looking forward to hearing it.
Hey Dave, That sounds like a nice way to get introduced to Arvo. I do have Litany as well as a few others I didn't show...Now you have me wanting to revisit it now. I remember liking it...just not quite as memorable as others. I agree, these take multiple listens to really marinate in ones consciousness. Hope you enjoy Alina, and look forward to how you feel about it. Also that Nels Cline...curious about that too, wonder if Gary knows about that....Thanks as always. -Carm
I can appreciate some of Part, though there are others that might fit within this 'decompress genre'--I'm thinking of some flute music and others within the New Age genre. Whatever it takes to create the peace around you at the time you need it is a good idea, which may include staying off line, etc. I started watching this last night, and will have to follow up on it sometime later today. I've been listening to some Nels Cline and picked up a CD by him the other day, he's sort of the opposite of Part, sort of noisey, experimental. Moods... :)
Hey Dave, Hmm...I like that idea...just listening to Arvo Part and staying offline for a bit... 🙂 Of course I did that for many years before I was ever online. Well I appreciate you watching any of this, as it's quite long. Oh neat, I recently found a biography of Bill Frisell and Nels is mentioned in there a decent amount. I like what I've heard of him, not quite enough yet. Thanks as always. -Carm
Hi Carm, I hope you'd a great weekend. Beautiful music, I have quite a few of these. I think I became familiar with Arvo Part through Spiegl Et Spiegel being used on spmethibg on tv here. Take care, Dave.
Hey Dave, Nice you're into Arvo too, I'm wondering too if I remember you showing something of his way back when...? Thanks as always for beng here. Doing well and hope you are too. -Carm
Carm, my mother always tells me, '' good things come to those who wait''. This video had a long gestation, but was worth the wait. Manfred first heard Arvo Part, on a radio broadcast. He created the ECM New Series for the sole purpose of releasing Arvo's music. Manfred suggested that Keith Jarrett play the piano on the ''Tabula Rasa'' album. I think of Part's music as Holy Minimalism, informed by Eastern Orthodox liturgy and medieval musical structure. The ''Te Deum'' recording is the one I return to, over and over again. I never heard the ''Alina'' album. It's on my want list now!
Hey Michael, Thanks so much for that! Oh yes, I remember that now about New Series origins, Makes sense with Keith too, as he and Manfred were always close. Of course, there's the Jarrett/Gurdjieff connection too which sounds to sit closely to Arvo's world. That's a very good and succinct description of Arvo's music. Had I thought of that, it could have saved me 35 minutes or so of trying to convey all this, ha! Oh yes, 'Te Deum' is just as soul-stirring here as it was hearing it nearly 30 years ago. Hope you enjoy 'Alina' once you've absorbed it. It's about as 'minimal' as it gets, but opens up so many pathways within the heart of the listener, I feel. Thanks much as ever for joining me. -Carm
@@gorvo31 Carm, you're right about the Jarrett/ Gurdjieff/ Part connection. I was going to mention that, but I always spell the name, Gurdjieff, incorrectly. Thank God that Manfred had his radio tuned to the right station. ''Fur Alina'' made me think of Beethoven's '' Fur Elise'', I can't wait to hear it.
Hi Carm. You already know what I am going to type here, but here goes anyway. Some of Pärt's pieces are among the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard ("Spiegel im Spiegel", "Fratres", the Britten memorial Cantus, etc.). I go through a "classical music" phase about once every ten years or so, and Pärt is always one of my most-often-played composers by far, and that ECM "Tabula Rasa" album remains my most-listened-to Pärt album. Maybe it is precisely because it was my introduction to Pärt's music that it is still my fave (and what a jawdropping intro it was.....I bought the cassette tape of it back in 1990). I'm rather like that when it comes to favorite albums - first impressions are deep and lasting. Anyway, I enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it. Jeff
On my 3 hour drives to and from work each day (90 minutes each way for about 9 months for a particular job I had in Hartford at the time in the early '90s), Pärt's Miserere and Passio albums (along with Terje Rypdal's recently released Undisonus and QED albums) were very frequently played in my car. On those drives those long Pärt albums were so therapeutic and magical. Especially when driving through newfallen-snowy countrysides.
Hey Jeff, How are you? Has been a while. Hope you're well. Indeed, you're one of the people I was thinking of with this...one of the few really, as I don't personally know many fans of him. We share some favorite pieces of his. Oh yes, those first impressions/introductory albums can stay with us for good. HOS featured a lot of Tabula Rasa, and that would have been the first album I would have bought if it were in the store then...Te Deum wasn't a shabby official first purchase though. 🙂 Well thank you as always, and again, hope all's well your way. Catch up further soon. -Carm
@@gorvo31 Doing well, thanks Carm. Still recovering from shoulder surgery but I can at least type with two hands now, haha! I have a few other health issues that emerged this year but they are being dealt with now also. I have no complaints and life is good. LOTS of listening to music (5-6 CDs a day) which places me firmly in "heaven on earth", so I am very happy. But listening to music and not being able (or not really wanting) to make a video about what I am listening to has actually been good for me.....sorta like returning to my old days of "selfishly" luxuriating in my own transcendent music realm and leaving everything else behind (including a strong desire to talk about it). But knowing me, I will probably eventually (maybe even soon) return to running my mouth about music (after all, look how long these comments are....). Cheers! Jeff
@@CalicoSilver I didn't know about the shoulder surgery nor the other issues, and hope they all continue to improve. Yes, that's my own blissful place, just spinning those albums throughout the day. Indeed too, often better when there's no feeling of obligation (oneself most importantly) to have to want to do a video on It...(just because we can, doesn't mean we must ;-) Of course it's nice too when we're compelled to do that too. I've made quite a few videos as of late, though feel I may retreat again soon for a while...who knows. Of course a new one by you would be most welcome. I love that too, the imagery of you on those long wintry drives with Arvo's own aural landscapes, just lovely.
aha! so this is what you had up your sleeve... excellent rundown of Part and his discography.... l only have one record of his, don't see his lps much at all though l have seen cds for many years... must pick up next time l come across any... from the little l've heard from Part l sense an existential sadness in his music which is right in my bag, the more sorrowful the better :) and l forgot about circuit city, l bought a few cds there as well... great one Carm
Hey Sherv, Thanks so much! I could have talked about more...though it would have been Tarkovsky-length, if not nearly the quality, ha. Yes, that Tabula Rasa is the only LP I've ever seen of his overall. Is that the one you have of his too? Indeed...existential sadness and sorrow....Being a lifelong "melancholy optimist" myself, his music tugs all the right strings too...so to speak. 🙂 Circuit City wasn't bad at all for tunes at all, from what I remember. Thanks as always for being here. If you have more music in that vein you haven't shared so far in your own videos, I'd naturally love to see/hear about them. 😊-Carm
@@gorvo31 Carm, the one Part lp l have is a compilation that came out five or six years ago on the Mississippi label. it's called Fur Alina and has Spiegel lm Speigel included..... as far as anything similar, not sure if he fits but the first name l thought of is George Gurdjieff whom you may know... the albums l have are solo piano.. not as emotive as Part but can be brooding... cheers
@@juliusjabbar1011 Sounds like a nice comp, and serendipitously Michael Valentini and I were just discussing Gurdjieff too. Yes, we may have some of the same ones. The original played by DeHartmann from the 50's is transcendent. To me that similar "joy of watching light" feel as 'Alina'. 🙂
Hello brother Carm☕️👋🏻spiritualism is something I am so apart of, meditation, Hz music sets the tones of my day....listening my friend.....have a wonderful weekend my friend Carm-namaste 🙏🏻✨☀️❤️🌈
Hey sis Lis, Ah lovely. His music is certainly meditative, and good for at least starting certain days with. Thanks as always. Love and namaste as well. -Carm & furz
Very interesting! I am not familiar with him. Intrigued! I watched the Bjork interview. You can see how thrilled she is to be with him. The music in the background in the interview footage is incredible.
Hey Tink! He's definitely an artist worth exploring. Oh yes, that's one of my all-time favorite videos, those two together...beautiful energy. Thanks as always, I know this was a long video. Peace, love, and hopefully cooler your way too. -Carm & resting Rocky

Hello brother Carm☕️👋🏻spiritualism is something I am so apart of, meditation, Hz music sets the tones of my day....listening my friend.....have a wonderful weekend my friend Carm-namaste 🙏🏻✨☀️❤️🌈
Hey sis Lis, Ah lovely. His music is certainly meditative, and good for at least starting certain days with. Thanks as always. Love and namaste as well. -Carm & furz
Very interesting! I am not familiar with him. Intrigued! I watched the Bjork interview. You can see how thrilled she is to be with him. The music in the background in the interview footage is incredible.
Hey Tink! He's definitely an artist worth exploring. Oh yes, that's one of my all-time favorite videos, those two together...beautiful energy. Thanks as always, I know this was a long video. Peace, love, and hopefully cooler your way too. -Carm & resting Rocky
