Christian Traditional Minimalism Classical

"I could compare my music to white light which contains all colours. Only a prism can divide the colours and make them appear; this prism could be the spirit of the listener." - Arvo Pärt

A figurehead in European minimalism, Arvo Pärt's compositions are slow and meditative, owing to the composer's own mystical experiences with chant music following a conversion to Orthodox Christianity. Now one of the world's most widely performed classical composers, immerse yourself in the output of Estonia's most celebrated musician in a three-hour In Focus special.
