This is a special edition of “Tabula Rasa”, the epochal album first issued in 1984 when the composer and ECM producer Manfred Eicher had just begun their collaboration. The new edition, prepared in association with publisher Universal Edition includes a 200 page hardback book with scores and facsimiles of Pärt’s previously unpublished handwritten manuscripts, which make for fascinating study. The book also contains writings and photos from the original release and a new introduction by Paul Griffiths. The disc itself, of course, features an astonishing cast playing compositions which are meanwhile amongst the best-loved in Pärt’s oeuvre.
