Valentin Silvestrov (piano) & Alexei Lubimov (piano) Munich Chamber Orchestra, Christoph Poppen ECM celebrates the 70th birthday (on 30 September) of Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov in style with an album of almost otherworldly beauty featuring shimmering, ravishing playing from Russian pianist Alexei Lubimov and the strings of the Munich Chamber Orchestra. Among the five world premieres is one dedicated to his good friend Arvo Pärt, and Silvestrov himself plays his Bagatelles for piano - music of aching lyricism - very touchingly. “Valentin Silvestrov is one of the greatest composers of our time” Arvo Pärt “After the tonal luminosity of the Bagatelles, the piercing dissonances at the opening of the Elegy exert a particularly poignant impact, as does The Messenger where the interaction between the resonances of piano and strings is extremely haunting.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
