Instruments
Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù was a renowned violin maker from Cremona, whose violins are known for their deeper, stronger, and more colorful sound compared to those of his contemporary, Antonio Stradivari.
Instruments
The 'Sainton' violin, played by Arabella Steinbacher, is named after violinist Prosper Sainton, who owned the instrument between 1850 and 1890.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Despite their different eras, the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and Arvo Pärt shares a common spiritual and sacred origin.
Instruments
Arabella Steinbacher, the violinist on this recording, plays the Guarneri del Gesù 'Sainton' violin from 1744, provided by a private Swiss foundation.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Arvo Pärt, an Estonian composer, developed a compositional style called 'tintinnabuli' in the late 1970s, which is characterized by its quietness and sense of eternity.
