Silvestrov, Valentin - Symphony No. 6 - Boreyko, Andrey (conductor)
"There is something highly captivating about Silvestrov's reinvention of musical progress that makes me think this symphony could gain something of a following, especially in such a well recorded and infinitely detailed performance as this."
(Daily Telegraph)
A defining orchestral work by Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov, one of the most individual voices from the former Soviet Union. His sixth symphony, written in 1994/95, a five-part work stretching over 55 minutes, offers an impressive synthesis of Silvestrov's personal style which he himself has called "Metamusik": music beyond music, sounds, often verging on silence, eavesdropping on long-lost reverberations.
