Valentin Silvestrov
Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov has made his mark bridging the gap between romantic tonality and avant-garde modernism. An icon in the former Soviet Union, Silvestrov has been gaining increased prominence in the West.
Bagatelles and Serenades
Valentin Silvestrov's Bagatelles have been described as x-rays of his melodic imagination. Greatly admired by composers Arvo Pärt and Alfred Schnittke, the pieces are reminiscent of Schumann's miniatures for the piano.
