Product Description

CD Description

This album of chamber music is the first in a series of ECM releases by Valentin Silvestrov, intended to spotlight the work of this important Ukrainian composer in the months and years to come. The pieces on the present recording - made with the participation of the composer - were written between 1974 and 2001. Inspired performances by Anja Lechner and Silke Avenhaus, Maacha Deubner and the Rosamunde Quartett bring out the highly individual lyricism and melodic feeling at the heart of Silvestrov's music. Silvestrov himself adds the "final caesura", with his tender piano performance of his "Hymn 2001".

Recorded 2001

Personnel: Valentin Silvestrov (piano), Anja Lechner (cello), Silke Avenhaus (piano), Simon Fordham (violin), Maacha Deubner (soprano), Rosamunde Quartett

5.0 out of 5 stars A Discovery, 3 Jul 2003
By Number 6 (The Village) - See all my reviews
  
I bought this after a reading a profile in Gramophone magazine, and I am glad I have. Silvestrov, like Part, is a composer who has radically changed styles as his career progressed. These chamber pieces demonstrate his, to my ears, fairly unique soundscape - a "post-music" world where the players appear to be struggling to shape melody out of fragments of sound. It is as if music as I know it had been consumed in some fireball, and Silvestrov is composing at some distance away from the cataclysm, clutching at echoes of what has been lost and assembling them into pieces full of yearning. Well worth a listen to hear for yourself what I am struggling to put in to words. The start of a Silvestrov series on ECM I understand.
