Arvo Part at 75, and Hilarious Haydn from Spoleto
We're looking ahead to the birthday of the great Estonian composer Arvo Part, he turns 75 on Saturday. We'll trace the evolution of his "mystical minimalist" sound, and hear two gorgeous examples of his work from concerts last month at the BBC Proms in London: the final section from his 1982 piece "Passio," and the final section from his Symphony No. 4 from 2008. Plus: a "laugh-out-loud" Flute Trio by Joseph Haydn, from the 2010 Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, South Carolina. (Spoleto chamber music host Geoff Nuttall told the audience to feel free to laugh during the wacky rondo section, and they did!)
