This 1995 recording, intensely focused on the composer's breakthrough works 'Fur Alina' and 'Spiegel im Spiegel,' holds a special place in both the Estonian composer's discography and the ECM catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eRecorded in Frankfurt's Festeburgkirche, this session brought together Arvo Pärt and producer Manfred Eicher with four insightful musicians: violinist Vladimir Spivakov, cellist Dietmar Schwalke, and pianists Alexander Malter and Sergej Bezrodny. 'Fur Alina,' composed in 1976, is noted as a pivotal work, symbolically marking the starting point for compositions that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cstrong\u003eSignificance and Reception\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eArvo Pärt once described his music by comparing it to white light containing all colors, which the listener's spirit acts as a prism to divide. Contemporary reviewers noted that carefully following the flow of \u003cem\u003eAlina\u003c\/em\u003e could heighten perception. Gramophone praised the album as 'the voice of internal exile, self-communing and highly personal but wholly accessible for anyone willing to listen,' while cautioning that the experience might make subsequent listening to other sounds seem like noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eFirst-time vinyl release of the ECM New Series album \u003cem\u003eAlina\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eFeatures performances of 'Fur Alina' (1976) and 'Spiegel im Spiegel'.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003ePerformance by Vladimir Spivakov, Dietmar Schwalke, Alexander Malter, and Sergej Bezrodny.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n    \u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis vinyl LP is presented in a cardboard single sleeve and includes a four-page insert featuring liner notes by Hermann Conen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThis essential chamber music recording offers a deeply personal and accessible listening experience, highly regarded within the ECM catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vladimir Spivakov; Sergej Bezrodny; Alexander Malter; Dietmar Schwalke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57640567406974,"sku":"B0GY16YJWB","price":49.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/3919\/1207\/files\/51NGX9ptpBL_7aa2db41-8ce2-4245-97fa-8378b7979b8c.jpg?v=1783114808","url":"https:\/\/www.yachew.com\/nl-be\/products\/arvo-part-alina-vinyl","provider":"Yachew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
