Born in 1937, the Ukrainian Valentin Silvestrov may be counted alongside his contemporaries Arvo Pärt and Giya Kancheli as among the most profoundly spiritual composers from the Soviet republics. Silvestrov, however, distinguishes himself from those contemporaries by the sharpness of his ears and the freshness of his thinking.
Silvestrov’s Fifth Symphony achieved a cult status among dissident Soviets and then in the West through the gradual dissemination of a recording made in 1976. The loving adieus of his later music have come about through an immersion in the Western avant-garde, with Webern as the fountain-head, that unlike Pärt he has not so much disowned as refined. This is music perpetually on the threshold of saying goodbye, wholly in love with the Viennese classics and yet regretfully aware that their world is irrecoverable.

[@Iryna05156]

Дякую за цю чудову добірку музики Валентина Сильвестрова. Він дуже гарний композитор і прекрасна людина. ❤

[@OlgaSafonovaSPB]

Люблю Сильвестрова. Часто слушаю. Считаю, что сейчас он очень актуален

[@charlesrae3793]

One of my favourite composers; his music always sounds to me elusive, like someone in a distant room playing, but you can never work out where. Something nostalgic for a remote past, at times unbearably moving.

[@gabrielmny]

First time I heard this composer and I had a similar feeling: something like a good dream that I remember little.

[@victorvoloschuk1696]

Respect for Silvestrov

[@dominiquemuskad768]

Loin des dissonances, loin des expériences sonores angoissantes, Valentin Silvestrov apporte la paix de l'âme. Merci!

[@gregorypatriciaandjiyajais8819]

a gift for melody and a beautiful refined sensibility. Music to live by

[@gregorypatriciaandjiyajais8819]

his melodies echoes the lost of the Romantic in music .He has a very distinctive voice

[@gabrielmny]

I didn't know Silvestrov's work. I found it to be melancholic, beautiful and touching. Another great discovery, thanks again Brilliant!

[@mccellen]

I just happened onto this site..I've played Beethoven for many years on the recored player and on the web...this is so lovely..

[@webkahmik]

He's one of the best I've encountered. Random purchase in a huge dept store in the country of Panama'. Nver heard the name, around '94. Now, he is a companion.

[@vovakozac5588]

[@camerondobson8142]

I first about this Post-soviet union era composer on the Now-defunct Soviet composers website. born during a time when Shostakovich was the main leader at the time and then Alfred Schnittke would later succeed him.

[@user-hi4yj1rw6e]

Thanks

[@gregorypatriciaandjiyajais8819]

this is music I want to take to a lonely island and meditate upon

[@denissuchkov754]

Отсутствие комментариев на русском и украинских языках под этим видео расстраивает. Такая красивая, но такая не популярная нынче музыка...

[@olgaromanovna775]

Мы здесь. Просто слов нет - слишком красиво

[@alexanderkuptsov6117]

Слушаю Сильвестрова с 2006 или 2007 года, когда сначала узнал о его существовании из фильмов Муратовой, а потом, скачивая рандомно музыку, наткнулся на Bagatellen und Serenaden 2005 года, который, наверное, остаётся моим любимым академическим диском. Так что знаем и слушаем :)

[@alexanderkuptsov6117]

А, да, я его ещё и вживую видел в 2009 году в московской консерватории, он приезжал :))

[@ukrainietis57]

Amazing music. However, the term "post-soviet" is now inappropriate and offensive. Silvestrov is Ukrainian and his country is fighting for independence.
