Arvo Pärt

I've been listening to some "minimalist" music lately, Arvo Pärt, specifically. I've always loved Barber's Adagio for Strings and Pärt's music reminds me of that. It's very haunting and sad, beautiful in a way that almost hurts. I was turned on to Pärt (also The Bad Plus, Rachel Podger and others) by All Songs Considered. If you're interested in expanding your musical horizons (in any direction), you should check out ASC.
