This album, titled after one of Arvo Pärt’s most beloved works, is a meditative tribute marking the composer’s 90th birthday on September 11, 2025. On Spiegel im Spiegel, music becomes a mirror: between composers, across centuries, and within the listener.

At its heart are three works by Pärt–Fratres, Da pacem, and Spiegel im Spiegel–each embodying his signature language of stillness and spiritual clarity. They are framed by pieces that resonate with his sensibility: Olivier Messiaen’s contemplative Louanges, J.S. Bach’s luminous Sonata for Viola da Gamba, and Alfred Schnittke’s brooding Cello Sonata.

Performed by Onutė Gražinytė (piano) and Edward King (cello), with the Aidija Chamber Choir led by Romualdas Gražinis, this collection invites deep listening. From Bach’s elegant counterpoint to Messiaen’s timeless devotion, each work reflects a shared search for the eternal.

A sonic meditation on peace, prayer, and presence–this is music that mirrors the soul.
