Silvestrov: Spectrums - Symphony No. 2 - Cantata - Meditatio

This CD is dedicated to early works by the Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov: “Avant-garde is an attempt to break out of an enclosed space into a more open one. [...] In the attempt to break out of this space, the fireworks of avant-garde artists are like the outbursts of the Romantics. [...] In my first works, I made it my goal [...] to achieve a lyrical atmosphere.” As early as 1967, Silvestrov – who calls himself a “lyricist and poet in music” – formulated with these words his compositional Credo, which has remained unchanged throughout the years.
