Pärt's speech at St. Vladimir's Seminary is worth watching [1]. Extraordinary figure. Greatest composer of our time and - I'm afraid - last great composer.

My second favourite Pärt-clip is Björk interviewing him. [2]

A deep interview with Arvo Pärt's wife Nora (for Estonian Televison, 40 minutes, with English subtitles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zssKYgi-aHQ

Oh, and a documentary, "24 Preludes for a Fugue" by Dorian Supin. You'll maybe notice some of Arvo Pärt's quirky sense of humor there as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRwTgme1_KE

Thank you for the documentary link. I've been looking for a certain Pärt video I came across years and years ago without success. But now took a small peak to that and I think this is it!
