On the one hand, Arvo Pärt is celebrated as a star of contemporary music; on the other, he is surrounded by the aura of a recluse. All wrong, says Paavo Järvi, who knows the composer very well: Pärt is warm-hearted, also very funny, "he loves puns and quirky associations". He recently turned 90; reason enough for Järvi and his Estonian Festival Orchestra to honour him with an entire programme in Zurich. Five works will be performed, including the famous "Tabula rasa". Two chords and the corresponding scales characterise this work, there is not much more: a radical reduction that demands the utmost concentration from the performers - and often creates almost sacred sound spaces.
