Beethoven's enchanting Fourth Piano Concerto sits alongside the rolling expanse of his Sixth 'Pastoral' Symphony; depicting open fields, a babbling brook, a village dance and a storm's thundering timpani. Inspired by the ideals of monastic brotherhood, Arvo Pärt's Fratres ('Brothers') is a hypnotically entrancing score layered with the echoing sound of bells.
