Valentyn Sylvestrov, Kyiv Chamber Choir. Sacred Works. Volume One. | | Track Reviews (0) |
|
|
Of course, one may have various attitudes to creativity by Valentyn Sylvestrov. But personally for me, he is one of the most loved composers of nowadays, in particular – among Ukrainian composers. It seems to me that it is just impossible to pass by that rest, internal force and freedom that sound in his works. Confidently – but not boldly, nobly – but without boasting, posturing. Music by Sylvestrov practically always causes the feeling as though he stands in front of the face of eternity with his head uncovered but raised – and you, the listener, at these moments stand next to him, and you do not drop down your glance either, because you can start penetrating high... It might seem that he composes relatively simply – but this is simplicity of experience, mastery and freedom, not simplification of helplessness or laziness. His music phrases are capacious and spacious, colors – saturated and transparent, motions – maximally expedient and eloquent. And one more thing. Possibly, it is about the abovementioned biased attitude to music by Sylvestrov – possibly. But, in any case, from everything that has been heard till now – it is this recording by the chamber choir "Kyiv" that seems most harmonious to me. The most, if you wish, important. Although these are exclusively my feelings – therefore, you'd better listen yourself. Anton Jozhik Leyba (Hedgehog)

Just incredible music – simple and wonderful at the same time.. And simple not because it does not contain delicate nuances, but because it succeeds, having rounded all sophistications of intellectual perception, to slightly open the door – right into the heart.. The multidimensional character of real Names – this is what you remember when listening to this disc.

"...there is a certain analogy with Bach's cycle "The Art of the Fugue"; in Bach's work the didactic idea and its application are primary. I could have called this cycle "The Art of the Melody", but in this name the didactic idea is missing and only the "art" is represented; thus "fleeting melodies" – the expanse, in which melodies exist on the boundary between their appearance and disappearance..."

...this disc even became the first (!) recording of sonatas by Myroslav Skoryk. Moreover: even the very music sheets of Sonata No.2 were not yet published at that moment. And Sonata No.1, by the way, is one of his diploma pieces in the domain of chamber music with which he in his time defended his degree after post-graduate studies in Moscow. Thus, this release can be justly referred to as really exclusive one..

...one of important features of all his music lies herein – it is practically impossible to perceive it in a contemplative, alienated way. Because it carries not only the atmosphere, feeling, space – but also a certain thought, question, message. Sometimes simple and clear, but often – encoded, hidden in complicated constructions and strong (as they seem from outside) emotions.

Romuald Twardowski composes in 2006 "Kyivska" Liturgy – and dedicates it exactly to the chamber choir "Kyiv". Such honor and attention could not remain without an answer – consequently, as it could be expected, the choir became the performer of the Liturgy... This is, sure, a good record – transparently soft and strong at the same time.

It is quite enough to just listen attentively to any pieces by Stankovych, from chamber to symphonic ones – and there are no longer any doubts: this man enriched not a nation – but humanity – with his creativity. The feeling is absolutely clear – the spaces that live in music by Stankovych breathe real grandeur.

When the author perceives interpretation of his/her own works as an accomplished one – it does testify to something. And Valentyn Silvestrov referred to the interpretation by the ensemble "Kyiv Soloists" exactly in those terms. From now on, you also have the opportunity to listen to this concert, to hear, feel, perceive, penetrate into it...

His "Meditation" is a symphony for a violoncello and a chamber orchestra. Meditation in a general sense is a state, a process and quality at the same time. Since a symphony is called to reproduce and to recreate the first, the second and the third, it is hopeless to reproduce the content. This music...
