Estonian composer Arvo Pärt emerged on to the landscape of later-20th-century music after making a decisive break from his former modernist ways and building a new language from scratch, with the simplest musical elements. The pure, hypnotic atmosphere of his slowly shifting harmonies have won him a place among the key figures of so-called 'spiritual minimalism' – with a style that appears rooted in ancient religion while also sounding fresh and personal.
Poised between the Lutheran and Catholic traditions, the austere yet serene St John Passion is sure to create a special aura in this ideal Late Night Prom setting.
