@Отборный научпоп - Лучший научно-популярный канал Сильвестров -- прекрасний майстер, чудовий музикант!!! Безбожник? Не брешіть тим більш, з своєю матерщиною.Вам, вельмишановний, ведмідь на вуха наступив! Ви не вмієте чути красу його мелодій, та зовсім не відчуваєте інтонаційного багатства його музикального твору. Бажаю вам доброго здоров'я.

Пане Борис Олійник! Повністю з Вами солідаризуюся! Слухаю з великим задоволенням Сільвестра. Але такі композитори не всім сподобаються. Дякую Вам за підтримку великого таланту Валентина Сільвестра.

An excellent symphony! I suggest this work to all the Brucknerians and Mahlerites, but also to all the lovers of the music of Schnittke.

[@ElliotWORLD]

+Fraffi309 You have it right, especially the 6th symphony of Mahler.

[@s02r]

Funny, you guessed right my current Top3 along with Silvestrov.

[@AntiWoke_Autistic]

I really like this, yet have no interest in Bruckner or Mahler. How is that possible? I don't hear any similarities.

[@frankborder]

@@AntiWoke_Autistic I think they’re definitely there, especially in the first part. More to do with construction than materials?...

[@Cosimo-composer]

If you have to say this music like what,obviously it more like Scriabin/Nemtin Mysterium.But looking in fact,this music doesn't have much personal style,and yes it just like mahler's Collogism.

[@juanjoseescrivasegui2185]

Great sinfóni, wonderful músic, biig and sensitiv Valentín silvestrov., thanks.

[@rossleckie6679]

This symphony has a sinuous and fluid folding and unfolding through its motifs. Towards the end there is a gorgeous pastoral melody repeated numerous times, always countered by the menace in the brass. As minimalist music, I find it more subtle than the music of Arvo Part or Henryk Gorecki. I find this symphony so moving that I can't stop playing it.

[@jamesbarlow6423]

С трудом верится ,что симфоннию и еще очень много хорошей музыки написал киевлянин , наш современник. Очень жалею,что так поздно открыл В.Сильвестрова. Очень мало музыки,к-ую хочется слышать снова и снова. Картинка для видео хорошо сочетается с музыкой.

[@georggeiersdorf1077]

Депрессивная музыка космической величины. Как такое можно было написать! Это одновременно и Армагеддон, и Сошествие в Ад и последние вздохи гибнущей Вселенной. Конец всему. Только примерно с 25 минуты всё успокаивается и появляется призрачная надежда. Только гений с философским мышлением мог заглянуть в такую бездну и отразить всё это в музыке.

[@enriquesanchez2001]

Sylvestrov's Symphony No. 5 (1980-1982), considered by some[who?] to be his masterpiece, may be viewed as an epilogue or coda inspired by the music of late Romantic composers such as Gustav Mahler. "With our advanced artistic awareness, fewer and fewer texts are possible which, figuratively speaking, begin 'at the beginning'... What this means is not the end of music as art, but the end of music, an end in which it can linger for a long time. It is very much in the area of the coda that immense life is possible.”

[@PiersHudsonComposer]

I think the idea of the 'end of music' is a fallacy. All previous musical idioms built upon preexisting musical materials, but in a new combination. Music today to no exception. This piece, by placing romantic and serial idioms together, is creating something new: the relationship between these hitherto disparate idioms. We won't run out of music anytime soon.

Who did the stunning graphic art here?

[@yowzephyr]

Silvestrov is probably Ukraine's greatest living composer. He fled Ukraine shortly after the Russians began their invasion. He was born on September 30, 1937. Make sure you listen to his beautiful piece "Prayer for the Ukraine" which he wrote in 2014.

[@RuthenianModernism]

prayer for Ukraine was originally written in 1885 by Mykola Lysenko, Silvestrov created his own arrangement in 2014

[@RuthenianModernism]

@@yowzephyr "Prayer for Ukraine" (Ukrainian: Молитва за Україну, romanized: Molytva za Ukrayinu) is a patriotic Ukrainian hymn published in 1885, which became a spiritual anthem of Ukraine. The text was written by Oleksandr Konysky, and the music was composed by Mykola Lysenko, first with a children's choir in mind. The song became the regular closing hymn in services of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and other churches. It gained national significance when it was performed by mass choirs during the Ukrainian War of Independence in 1917-1920. The hymn was intended to be an official spiritual anthem of Ukraine. It has closed sessions of oblast councils, and has been performed at major national functions.

[@RuthenianModernism]

@@yowzephyr the January 1863 uprising had taken place 20 years before and both Lysenko and the author of the lyrics lived during that time. Lysenko also produced songs for the next uprising (the 1905 revolution). They probably knew it was only a matter of time.

[@yowzephyr]

@@RuthenianModernism Thank you! To quote the late, great Johnny Carson "I did not know that." ...So, if you don't mind my asking, what was going on in Ukraine in 1885 that had them in need of prayers? But I suppose that's a silly question. All entities need prayers 24/7, right?

[@yowzephyr]

@@RuthenianModernism Interesting. Thanx. Maybe I can get myself to read about Ukraine's history.

[@KenHannaford]

For me this is a wonderful recording, the strings have bite when required and a silky quality when in the meditative sections. The transitions between sections are sympathetically played. However there is something that disturbs me around the 10th minute? Is this correct? Oh for a score. I wonder how other listeners feel about the tuning and the harmonic "conflicts" in its bitonal writing. It has all the features of simplicity but that characteristic is misleading. Serial music? I think not.

[@symphonious_rex]

+Ken Hannaford Yeah there's a glitch or jump at 10:48. It's on the file so it's not a youtube upload issue. I've listened to other versions of the symphony and it's difficult to say if it's a split-second or a few seconds that is lost...

[@johnappleseed8369]

This is neo-romantic music

[@DenianArcoleo]

@@johnappleseed8369 I think Sylvestrov is saying something new here. I wouldn't describe it as neo-romantic. He himself has said that in the 20thC music came to an end, but that end can last forever. Beautiful thought, if a little unsettling.

[@yowzephyr]

@@symphonious_rex Oh well. An imperfection so as not to anger the gods.

[@admiradordebrahms]

@@DenianArcoleo "He himself has said that in the 20thC music came to an end". Where on the web may I find these words?

[@LinasVepstas]

whats the weird jump at 10:49?

[@darrylschultz9311]

That's what the true connoisseur has come to know as "Silvestrov's Enigmatic Bit".It all came about in order to gain fame and notoriety-he recognised while composing it that in order to stand out from the crowd these days one needed to go to extraordinary lengths,as practically every conceivable thing had already been tried when it came to the music itself-so he decided to include a bit that sounded like some of the piece had been skipped! "Bravo maestro!",I say to all my friends gathered around.On other days we all cry as one,"Pure genius!".Then on still other days when I'm alone,it's,"That's just silly!".(Hmm,now I think about it there's lotsa people like that when it comes to classical music!).

Hi

[@josephlaredo5272]

Well, I would have said this music was light years away from either Mahler or Bruckner! To my ears, it's all rather shapelss. By the way, there's an odd jump at 10:49 (which is as far as I got). Thanks for posting!

[@TheVaughan5]

As I'm no great fan of either Mahler or Bruckner that doesn't bother me, however, like most contemporary music it ultimately fails to hold my attention though I can appreciate it is a serious composition and far superior to a lot of works being premiered these days which are absolute shit.

[@yowzephyr]

You mean 10:48.

[@masterchain3335]

Come on, KZbin uploaders... If I had a dollar for every one of you who doesn't credit your visual artists, I'd be a rich man. This is obvious stuff.

[@symphonious_rex]

I generally credit the artist of the picture used, though occasionally I forget, and when I try to re-find the picture I can't find it...

[@masterchain3335]

It's funny because I had just watched several videos and none of them credited the artist, but I just scrolled through your video list and it does look like you do it the vast majority of the time, so good job. And thanks for the interesting music.

[@reentjekay7597]

So like if it's obvious why don't you just telll us who the artist is?

[@masterchain3335]

No, no.... *facepalm*. The "obvious stuff" is that you should credit the artist.

[@jamesbarlow6423]

Ahead of his time. Nihilism on the horizon. A prophet.

[@alexpianoplayer15]

Silvestrov thinks of himself to be a classical composer but his music is far from being classical music. It's rather avangard or even atonal music...

[@billinrio]

Not much new here. Starting at 4:47 the influence of Mahler's 9th is obvious, and Alan Pettersson already did all of this, and IMHO, much better.

[@BayardAugust]

Why does every piece of music have to be "new". I just enjoy the lushness and calming qualities of this fine work. Screw "new" for "new's" sake, jeezus! No one complains about Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi and Haydn regurgitating the same pablum ad nauseum.
