A love story: Istanbul and Arvo Pärt - A musical and geographical pilgrim report -

Summary/Abstract: The travel report of the author to Constantinople in 2010, as a journalist accredited to the International Music Festival in Istanbul, is built from three perspectives: tourism, essays and music. The author investigates the religious meanings of the concert “Adam’s lamentation”, composer Arvo Pärt, which premiered at the festival in Istanbul and tries to correlate them with the mystical meanings of Constantinople, where ancient and medieval civilizations intertwine as a bridge between Europe and Asia, between Christianity and Islam. Is the methanoic concert of the Estonian Orthodox master able to prophesy a spiritual future of this ancient multi-religious metropolis?
