no.7 - Arvo Pärt: "Spiegel im Spiegel"
This "mirror within a mirror" is probably the most sublime example of minimalist music. In our chaotic world, we all need 10 minutes of such absolute beauty.

Some international Resonance news:
In 2018 we'll be presenting three programmes which will run in both Europe and Australia.
In 2018 stellen wir drei Programme vor, die sowohl in Europa als in Australien spielen werden.
Maurice Duruflé, composer of many works for (principally) organ and choir, was born on this day in 1902. Ever the perfectionist, Duruflé only allowed a small amount of his music to go to print. What we are left with is truly miraculous. Merci Monsieur.

Our '50 Great Works' begins with the greatest 'crossover' of all time. Alone and deaf, Beethoven created this outpouring of humanity in order that we would listen. Let's.
