Today's video sees pianist Alice Sara Ott performing Arvo Pärt's Für Alina, directed and produced by Hakan Demirel and Ahmet Doğu Ipek. 

This is no ordinary performance video, as Ott explores the white space around her and the piano. The recording of Für Alina appears on Ott's upcoming album 'Echoes Of Life' (due for release on August 6). To find out more, visit: http://dgt.link/ott-echoes
