In 1984, ECM brought a new sound into the musical world with the release of Arvo Pärt's Tabula Rasa, the first album on the label's New Series imprint. The record also marked the intersection of some of the most longstanding, significant musical collaborators in the label's history: Arvo Pärt, Gidon Kremer and Keith Jarrett.

The album that brought Pärt's name to the West, and to the world (…). Back in 1984 Tabula rasa helped re-educate our ears and throw open the doors of our musical sensibilities to spatial domains that had otherwise been closed to us. This is without any shadow of a doubt one of the great recordings of the last century.
