Symphony No. 4 'Los Angeles'

Description

38 years after writing his Third Symphony, Arvo Pärt returned with a Fourth, a total departure from his earlier struggles with 12-tone composition. Commissioned in part by Los Angeles Philharmonic and premiered in January 2009 under the direction of Esa-Pekka Salonen, Symphony No. 4 'Los Angeles' brings "glorious" and "gorgeous" from the reviewers. "Nothing when Pärt’s music is performed can be out of place, and nothing here was. ...The symphony, on every level, was an event."
