Georgijs Osokins - For Arvo 2LP
NEW. SEALED.
Deutsche Grammophon Records
Latvian pianist Georgijs Osokins dedicates his debut album for Deutsche Grammophon to Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. Entitled 'For Arvo', the album is a tribute to Baltic piano culture and the composer's timeless music, celebrating his 90th birthday on 11 September 2025.
In addition to original works for piano, the album contains Osokin's own transcriptions of central Pärt compositions such as 'Fratres', 'Pari intervallo' and 'Fragile e conciliante' that underline Osokins' musical integrity and his deep engagement with the works.
With this programme, Georgijs Osokins explores “the hidden relations between different pieces in Pärt’s piano output,” and thus spans the period from Pärt's early compositions to his signature Tintinnabuli style. “I wanted to capture the very moment of the composer’s revelation – from complex contemporary avant-garde through to pure, luminous and enigmatic beauty and simplicity,” explains Osokins. The works were recorded on a blue Steinway grand piano that is over 100 years old, whose overtone-rich sound lends the album an unmistakable atmosphere.
“This album is a declaration of my deep love for Arvo and his music,” says Georgijs Osokins.
