PÄRT
24 Preludes for a Fugue is the first authorized documentary
about prominent composer Arvo Pärt to be released on DVD. A portrait made of
precious moments recorded during three prolific years of the composer’s life,
the film features rehearsals, premieres, seminars, meetings and recollections.
Director Dorian Supin succeeds in revealing Arvo Pärt’s musical thinking. His
work opens a door on the inner world of one of the most spiritually intense
composers of our time.
The film is enhanced by excerpts from major musical works such as "Tabula
Rasa", "Passio", "Fratres", "Orient & Occident",
"Cecilia, vergine romana" and "Como cierva sedienta".
