About

This album, titled after one of Arvo Pärt’s most beloved works, is a meditative tribute marking the composer’s 90th birthday on 11 September 2025. On Spiegel im Spiegel, music becomes a mirror: between composers, across centuries, and within the listener.

At its heart are three works by Pärt – Fratres, Da pacem, and Spiegel im Spiegel – each embodying his signature language of stillness and spiritual clarity. They are framed by pieces that resonate with his sensibility: Olivier Messiaen’s contemplative Louanges, J.S. Bach’s luminous Sonata for Viola da Gamba, and Alfred Schnittke’s brooding Cello Sonata.

Performed by Onutė Gra˛inytė (piano) and Edward King (cello), with the Aidija Chamber Choir led by Romualdas Gra˛inis, this collection invites deep listening. From Bach’s elegant counterpoint to Messiaen’s timeless devotion, each work reflects a shared search for the eternal.

A sonic meditation on peace, prayer, and presence – this is music that mirrors the soul.
