[Little review of the 5th symphony]:
Valentin Silvestrov's Symphony No.5 is a long and deeply melancholic work. For me, this is music that fills the space after all has been said and done, when words (even thoughts and ideas) are no longer of any use to capture feelings of profound simplicity. Nostalgia is the primary motif - though not in looking back with regret or fondness, but looking back in order to scatter memories as though ashes. Turbulence is over; strife has passed; ambition is still. This is music that is letting go, even of itself. A symphony of acceptance. Captivating.

This fifth symphony has been difficult to find, it would seem, and I have become intimate instead with the 6th (which I actually believe is a better work as it has distinctly more shape and contrast). Jurowski's recent british LPO premiere of the 5th was something of a milestone. To listen to the 5th one has to suspend believe in everything around one and sit back on one's private trip: but it is rather wonderful in this Saraste performance. And the sound is superb, which illuminates the wonderful orchestration and construction of the work. The 4th symphony is new to the catalogue and is not as easy to assimilate as the 5th: the construction doesn't quite add up in the same way as it does in the 5th and 6th symphonies. Overall, works quite out of the common run.
