Adam’s Passion - Arvo Prt, Robert Wilson

Accentus Music - New on DVD and Blu-ray - Available worldwide in September/October 2015 - Adam’s Passion is the moving first collaboration between two “masters of slow motion who harmonize perfectly with each other” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). In the spectacular setting of a former submarine factory, American director and universal artist Robert Wilson creates a poetic visual world in which the mystical musical language of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt can cast its meditative spell. Three of Pärt’s major works – Adam’s Lament, Tabula rasa, and Miserere, as well as Sequentia, a new work composed especially for this production – are brought together here using light, space, and movement to create a tightly-woven Gesamtkunstwerk in which the artistic visions of these two great artists mirror each other. Music by Arvo Pärt Stage Direction, Set Design & Lighting Concept: Robert Wilson Tallinn Chamber Orchestra Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir Conducted by Tõnu Kaljuste Featuring Michalis Theophanous, Lucinda Childs See the trailer for the Accentus Music documentary “The Lost Paradise - Arvo Pärt, Robert Wilson“ to be released on DVD worldwide in September/October 2015:
