Arvo Pärt: Silouan's Song
_My soul yearns after the Lord._
*Hugo Ticciati* violin
*O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra*
_Few composers shape their works according to their personal religious philosophy as deeply and poignantly as Arvo Pärt does, and within his oeuvre, few pieces can be found that carry as heavy a spiritual weight as Silouan's Song. Pärt's treatment of religious topics is never a mere acknowledgment of a long-standing musical tradition, or an objective experiment within a church-derived musical form. The intensity of a work such as Silouan's Song is not a musical construction, but a very personal expression of faith._ Jeremy Grimshaw.
