Info zu Valentin Silvestrov: Works

Valentin Silvestrov’s elusive post-modern style is rich in nostalgia for the lost music of a barely remembered past filled with beauty and spiritual aspiration. Ode to a Nightingale is a masterly response to Keats’ unsentimental reflection on human mortality, contrasting with the beauty and affecting intimacy of the Cantata No. 4 and the resonant emotional world of its companion piece, the Concertino. Starkness set against elegiac melancholy are the shared features of Moments of Poetry and Music and the Seventh Symphony – an embodiment of Silvestrov’s dual musical nature of anguish and tenderness. Valentine Silvestrov’s music has become widely acclaimed and appreciated through numerous recordings, and he has been dubbed ‘one of the greatest composers of our time’ by the likes of Alfred Schnittke and Arvo Part. Naxos and Grand Piano have added to his catalogue with significant releases and ‘beautiful, sensitive performances that make a strong impression even though they never raise their voices.’ (Fanfare)

Іnna Galatenko
is a soloist with the National Ensemble ‘Kyivska kamerata’. Her wide vocal range, subtle sense of artistic style and powerful stage energy have allowed her to perform music of different styles and eras. In 2003, she made the first recording in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, gave Russian and Ukrainian premieres of Denisov’s large-scale song cycle На Снежном Костре (‘On the Snow-Fire’), and the Ukrainian premiere of Volkonsky’s Wandering Concerto.

Oleg Bezborodko
studied in Switzerland and the Ukrainian National Academy of Music where he now serves as a professor. A member of the National Union of Composers of Ukraine, Bezborodko is a prizewinner of many national and international piano competitions and recipient of scholarships, including the Revutsky Prize (2008) and Lysenko Prize (2017). Bezborodko is in high demand as an interpreter of contemporary music and as a chamber musician.

Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra
has been active for almost eight decades and has long represented Lithuanian culture abroad, appearing at various festivals and concert halls across Europe. The LNSO has accumulated an extensive repertoire, and its discography contains numerous significant examples of Lithuanian symphonic music. Leading Lithuanian conductor Modestas Pitrėnas has served as principal conductor and artistic director of the orchestra since 2015.

Christopher Lyndon-Gee
Included among the 300 conductors featured in Naxos’ A to Z of Conductors, Christopher Lyndon⁠-⁠Gee was nominated for GRAMMY Awards in 1998 for the first volume of his ground-breaking series of the complete works of Igor Markevitch; in 2003 for the world premiere recording of George Rochberg’s Symphony No. 5 and Transcendental Variations; and again in 2007 for Hans Werner Henze’s Violin Concertos Nos. 1 and 3. He studied conducting under Franco Ferrara in Rome and Rudolf Schwarz in London. He worked as Bruno Maderna’s assistant at La Scala, Milan, later becoming second conductor at the Teatro Regio in Turin.
