Hauntingly beautiful music by one of our greatest living composers. If only the world were ruled by musicians.... Slava Ukraini, may victory and peace come soon to your heroic people 🇺🇦
I feel that Valentin raised a very great point here: it is significant that so many of the great people in Russian culture were either persecuted or living in fear of persecution by the State. So many of our cultural heroes around the world were, or are, necessarily rebels. Culture is arguably the antithesis of oppression and violence. May better times come soon for Ukraine and for all of us. In peace.
This is a wonderfully insightful video. The final point about monumentalism is very profound. Helps me also understand why Beethoven composed the bagatelles at the time in his life when he did. The op 119 was written around the time of the Ninth and the Missa Solemnis.
I've been a fan since discovering the Bagatelles played by Hélène Grimaud. But only now I do understand his persecution or falling out with Soviet authorities (I think?). Any artist who depicts so powerfully the universe of the private life, the meanderings of the soul, can only terrify those who insist on the total dominance of the collective. I've often felt his music is beautiful but "with no easy answers," it doesn't resolve where you think it will, though it always makes a kind of peace with itself. That's anathema who any nomenklatura who wants the Truth delivered from on high.
I just bought and listened to a CD with Silverstrov's religious choral works, which are beautiful and soul-stirring. Part two of 'Diptych', which is the poem 'Testament' from 19th century Ukrainian literary icon Shevchenko, set to choral music, is very memorable and soul-stirring for its haunting melodies and powerful atmosphere and presence.
A sorrowful reason for the world to get to know this true Master... I adore his Songs and Bagatelles
his choral works are amazing modern but soulful
Great and moving video!!!!. I trully enjoyed his music!!!. Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks God our maestro is safe and continues to create true art
Beim Bundespräsidenten auf Schloß Bellevue wurden heute zwei seiner Stücke in seiner Anwesenheit aufgeführt. Sehr bewegend.
soulful, peaceful human being, thank you maestro
Thank you so much, for sharing your music and your wide view with us, in these troubled times. Soothing and encouraging, heart to heart.
I'm glad to know he's safe
So glad Maestro Silvestrov is safe. I've been listening to his works for a while and they sooth my soul.
Beautiful ❤️🇨🇦
YES !!!
How heartfelt these compositions are! They give us an insight into the Ukraine we don't really know.
GOD, SAVE UKRAINE
Beautiful, soulful music...🌹🌹
Keep safe and sound and keep creating, Maestro.
Very good and inspiring video, thank you!
I actually had no idea that Silvestrov was Ukrainian. I listened to his music without even wondering about his heritage.
his symphonies start out with intensity and out of the mist arises the most beautiful melodies

Great Ukrainian Composer. Punkt.
I did not know Silvestri was still alive, wowo
Менi цiкаво чому московити так ображаються на це вiдео? Абсолютно нiчого образливого не було сказано
🤷♂️
Старый дед совсем поехал, всю жизнь писал дерьмо и говорил дерьмо, может быть сейчас мозги встрясутся и заткнется наконец
and maybe you might be a russhist?
