Arvo Pärt

This is a thorough and impressive attempt to challenge de-materialised readings of Pärt’s music, concentrating especially on the sheer physicality of sound and hearing. It is likely to set new directions in studies of this beguiling composer, and open up fresh avenues in the wider field of music and theology.—Jeremy Begbie, Duke University
