Arvo Pärt once asked a street cleaner what a contemporary composer should do. The answer? “He should love every note.”
The result was Passio – a retelling of Christ’s Passion in which every note matters, every emotion is sincere, and even the darkest sorrow has an inner light. Heartfelt, luminous and serene, Passio is a masterpiece for our time and for all time. Spiritual refreshment, from the deep, quiet soul of one of a legend among living composers.
Concert at St Martin in the Fields.
