Album Notes & Community Reviews
This masterful Telarc collection highlights several distinct instrumental arrangements of Arvo P盲rt's legendary, highly hypnotic composition 'Fratres', performed flawlessly by the Belgian ensemble I Fiamminghi. The incredibly pristine recording beautifully captures the profound, deeply spiritual melancholy and incredibly rigorous mathematical structure that completely defined his 'holy minimalist' revolution. It remains a definitive, highly accessible entry point into his transcendent catalog.
