I love when you can let go and trust that music is going to take you places you hadn't imagined, to go along with it like a great story. This composer carries me away with his beautiful melodies. Losing my Saturday listening to different versions of Summa. The choices different players make changes the feel of the song, and opens new vistas in my mind.

Arvo has agift for sure, developing themes, integrting ideas, building to incredible heights, or detouring down musical paths in the soul you didn't know were there.

I enjoy art that challenges me, that transforms and transcends

No need to include a "visual cd" with this music, your mind is the video player

Wow... never imagined I'd see a thread about Arvo here. I LOVE him. And listen to him consistently when Im writing or need to be deep in thought. Arvo and John Tavener are my two go-to guys for great mystically inclined orchestral work.

love this...
