At that moment, I had the strong feeling that I wasn't ready to die yet, \" said then-67-year-old Arvo Prt. This was the creative impulse for \"Lamentate\". Arvo Prt, who celebrates his 85th birthday on September 11, 2020, seems to have often been inspired to compose by external circumstances. This is demonstrated in the selection of works for or with piano, which Onute Grainyte chose for her first recording. \"Fr Alina\" is particularly important to the Lithuanian pianist. In 1976, Prt dedicated it to a young woman who had decided to leave the Soviet Union for England. \"I know Alina's mother personally and can sympathize with her indescribable pain\", says Onute Grainyte. The pianist was baffled by Prt's simple musical notation. \"First you ask yourself: What is this?\" Her playing reveals: She understands. \"Arvo Prt has reached the core. It's no coincidence that he dedicated many piano pieces to children and that he intended the 'Vater Unser' (Our Father) to be sung by a boy soprano. It's the ideal, the purity that children are born with and the composer has found it again.\"","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59477733834833,"sku":"ACCT30512.2","price":36.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3842040-2598063_1bdefb74-ec56-4651-acbf-e677db9e3f57.jpg?v=1778144096","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/part-lamentate-music-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
