Arvo Pärt - Tabula Rasa

One of the most powerful pieces of orchestral music from the second half of the 20th Century. Time for me to use the "m word": a masterpiece.

Infamously reissued by ECM a few weeks ago for a whopping price of €49,90 (making this NM original copy less expensive than the 2024 reissue?! I don't make the rules), Arvo Pärt's opus magnum is nonetheless essential, and one of the very few records I would recommend to anybody from my mother to my neighbour. Anyone who ever experienced sorrow will be moved by this complexe musical suite. Music changes life. (NM/VG: yellowed white cover)
