A beautiful birthday gift. ❤️ Paavo Järvi conducts the Estonian Festival Orchestra in a performance of Arvo Pärt’s ‘Estonian Lullaby’ as part of a special birthday release for the conductor’s 90th birthday last week. Arvo Pärt himself says “lullabies are like little pieces of lost paradise, a small consolation combined with feeling of profundity and intimacy.” 🥹 ‘Arvo Pärt: Credo’ is out in the UK today with @alpha_classics, following Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday last Thursday. | Classic FM
