Part: Symphony No 4

Arvo Pärt's Fourth Symphony, subtitled quot;Los Angelesquot;, was written in 2008 and premièred in January of the following year, with Esa- Pekka Salonen conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.

That first performance is reprised on this disc.

It is the first of Pärt' s symphonic pieces to appear on ECM New Series, the label closely associated with the Estonian composer since the 1984 release of Tabula rasa.
