Erkki-Sven Tüür – Illuminatio / Whistle and Whispers from Uluru / Symphony No. 8; Arvo Pärt & Alfred Schnittke – Choral Works; Arvo Pärt – The Symphonies
Thank you for your insightful review of Tuur’s 8th Symphony. I would expand your comments to claim that on the basis of the highly consistent quality of his Symphonies 5 through 9 (and possibly no. 4), he is among the top-tier symphonists of the last fifty years. All of these works are of stunning originality and substance, which deeply reward repeated hearings and richly deserve to enter the permanent repertoire.
