Such is the continuing vogue for the musical world’s favourite religio-minimalist that it seems even his slightest creations have been recorded several times over – sometimes, as with Spiegel im Spiegel, in several different instrumentations. Pärt completists may nonetheless be drawn to this CD by the presence of the Mozart-Adagio, which does not otherwise appear in the catalogue. This is a piano trio arrangement and paraphrase of the slow movement of Mozart’s K280 Piano Sonata, which builds in some intriguingly misaligned harmonic echoes and overtones that occasionally bring the music within a Schubertian orbit but occasionally sound merely haphazard. On the whole the impression is more one of someone imitating Pärtian techniques than of a fully realised exercise of musical imagination.

Still, the two solo piano pieces are always worth hearing for their hovering euphony. Playing and recording are nicely judged (though the uppermost notes on the piano are distractingly tinny), and although the timing is short, at rock-bottom price there are certainly worse ways of being introduced to Pärt.
