I recently picked Adam's Lament up at a Value Village, of all places - I'm by no means an expert but it's very lovely.

Thanks Simon.
I found this live performance of Adam's Lament in Toronto on Youtube and it's really beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCx-Meklym0
I'll definitely be getting the album.

stunning recording with some of his best hits from the 70's!

The extant recordings are so definitive that I'm systematically disappointed by anyone else's take on these pieces. But I love them so much that I'll probably end up checking it out anyway.

in that context you might well be disappointed. It was just perfect for my mood this morning.

Which recordings do you mean by "extant"? Haven't most of Pärt's works been recorded several times by different orchestras/ensembles?
