Notes
“The slow movement from Bach’s A Minor Concerto was the reason that, at the age of four, I knew I wanted to play the violin for the rest of my life. Of course, I had no idea at the time what that would really mean — but I was so overwhelmed by the beauty and depth of Bach’s music that there was no question for me: I simply had to become a musician!
For me, Pärt’s music represents our human nature, the inner struggle that we must deal with repeatedly throughout our lives. From the quiet beginning, “Fratres” which increases to absolute ecstasy… and suddenly time stands still, the feeling of eternity arises.
As different as Bach and Pärt may be, they have a spiritual and sacred origin in common. Their music takes me back to myself and brings me peace every time I hear or play it.”
– Arabella Steinbacher
