24 Preludes for a Fugue is an authorised documentary about Arvo Pärt. A portrait made of precious moments recorded during three prolific years of the composer’s life, the film features rehearsals, premieres, seminars, meetings and recollections. Director Dorian Supin succeeds in revealing Arvo Pärt’s musical thinking. His work opens a door on the inner world of one of the most spiritually intense composers of our life. The documentary is enhanced by excerpts from major musical works such as Tabula rasa, Für Alina, Fratres, Orient & Occident, Cecilia, vergine romana and Como cierva sedienta. With English subtitles.
This is a beautiful and important documentary. Is it possible to buy a dvd?
