Description:

A Collection of Choral Works by the Acclaimed Ukrainian Composer SilvestrovThis is a collection of choral works by the Ukrainian composer Silvestrov (1937).While Silvestrov wrote avant-garde works in the early stages of his career, from a certain point onward he began composing pieces that invite reflection and meditation through gentle, beautiful melodies and warm harmonies imbued with a sense of tonality. In particular, his Requiem, written in memory of his wife Larissa, who passed away in 1996, garnered worldwide attention. The works from 2000 onward included in this album convey a transcendent beauty that seems to suggest he has overcome that grief. Here you will find music that is truly beautifula sublimation of Orthodox tradition and his own musical language.*The Japanese edition includes a Japanese liner note by Kei Matsudaira.Naxos Japan
