Arvo Pärt - Biography

  

Writing at first 12-tone music for which he was censured by the Soviet authorities, he continued to work as a radio producer and film composer until he converted to a romantic style using conventional harmonies. He was then unable to find work in the then Soviet state so he emigrated to Austria and then Berlin until he was able to return to Tallin following Estonian independence.
He had converted from Lutheranism to Orthodox Christianity and his compositions were thereafter liturgical or of a spiritual nature.
