In celebration of composer Arvo PŠrt's 70th birthday on September 11th, Harmonia Mundi offers this special selection of recordings, conducted by his long-time collaborator and biographer Paul Hillier. Of special note is the first release of Hillier's reading of Dopo la vittoria. Previously released recordings are taken from Hillier's two highly acclaimed recordings of the music of Arvo PŠrt. His first CD, De Profundis, has remained a bestseller since its debut in March 1997. I Am The True Vine, his second PŠrt disc, illustrated Hillier's unique affinity for the deep spiritual mysteries of PŠrt's music, and his ability to illuminate them in ways no other performer can match. The collaborative relationship between Hillier and Estonian composer PŠrt dates back to the early 1980s, when as director of the Hilliard Ensemble, he was among the first to present PŠrt's music to the West.
