Celebrating Estonian New Music
As renowned Estonian composer Arvo Pärt turns 90 years old, the New Music Show goes on a musical tour of Estonia.
With Arvo Pärt turning 90 years old on 11th September, Tom Service goes on a musical tour of the composer's homeland, Estonia. Featuring some of Pärt's own music, and exploring the range and depth of the country's contemporary composers and performers, including the latest recordings. We also hear from Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi.
With thanks to Estonian Radio (ERR), in particular Johanna Mängel and Miina Pärn, for provision of the recordings used in this broadcast.
