I don't know if this is correct, but I've always assumed that it should
be pronounced pear(as in the fruit) or pare - t, because there is an
umlaut over the "a", so that's how it would be pronounced in German.
However, if anyone has a better idea I'd be interested to hear it.

Our local radio station pronounces it "Ary' voh" two syllables with a
*very* muted "y"...and "Pear" (the fruit) + "t" one syllable.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's incorrect. In German it would be
pronounced that way, but that doesn't mean that the umlaut-thingy
(two dots) has the same pronounciation in Estonian.

But this name is not German, it's Estonian (as you probably know).
So why would you assume that it has a German pronounciation? Just
because this language also has an umlaut-type symbol, doesn't mean
it has the same sound as in German.

Well - in this case it was a good guess! The "ä" (a with two dots above it for
those of you who don't get the correct character on your screens) is pronounced just
like the " in "rare" or the "ea" in "pear".
What you probably won't understand is that the "r" in "Pärt" is pronounced differently
than the english "r", it's a rolling "r". And the "t" is different from the english
"t" as well, but it's virtually impossible to describe the difference... It's
pronounced closer to the teeth!? If that makes any sense. The "P" is just a normal
"P" - for a change.
I'm not Estonian myself, so I probably have it a bit wrong as well...

Whenever I've heard his name said (by radio dee jays, record store
clerks, etc.), it's always been pronounced:
"ARE-voe PAIRT." (i.e. the "Par" in "Part" sounds like the English
word, "pair.")
