Finding your way through Mr. Pärt’s discography is no small task. For a one-stop overview, the most inclusive and affordable option is a new two-disc sampler from Naxos, "Arvo Pärt: A Portrait." It features both the impish avant-gardist Pärt and the meditative tintinnabuli Pärt, but be forewarned that these halves of his career do not sit easily together. (Mr. Pärt himself once cautioned against programming them in the same concert.) Jeremy Eichler - The New York Times - October 2005

An outstanding performance of "For Alina" by Alexei Lubimov begins the Naxos two-CD "Portrait" of Pärt, which includes a wide selection of excerpts from his oeuvre along with a handy 78-page booklet introducing him and his music you will discover a composer who keeps trying to get inside the timbres of instruments, of voices and of the texts that he sets. Mark Swed - Los Angeles Times - October 2005

Extracts from symphonies are heard alongside his devotional choral works and favourite cuts like Frates and Cantus in memory of Benjamin Britten. The performances are consistently top-notch, and full marks to writer Nick Kimberley for his sizeable introductory essay. Brings Pärt to the people." ***** Phillip Clark - Gramophone magazine - September 2005
