    About Valentin Silvestrov

    Valentin Silvestrov, born in Kyiv in 1937, is a Ukrainian composer and pianist whose contemporary classical music has earned him international acclaim. Beginning his musical journey at the age of 15, Silvestrov's path was unconventional, studying civil engineering by day and piano by night before dedicating himself fully to composition. His works, ranging from avant-garde to sacred music, are known for their unique blend of traditional tonal and modal techniques, creating a delicate tapestry of dramatic and emotional textures. Silvestrov's music is often described as mentally challenging yet aurally agreeable, with a timeless quality that resonates deeply with audiences. Throughout his career, he has undergone significant stylistic shifts, moving from experimental avant-garde to a quieter, more harmonious style that he sees as a transition from the 20th to the 21st century. His compositions, such as the heart-wrenching "Hymn" and his symphonies, reflect his deep connection to the past and his ability to evoke a sense of reminiscence. Despite his profound impact on the music world, Silvestrov remains a quiet yet major voice in contemporary classical music.
