Valentin Silvestrov Kyiv, Ukraine
Valentin Silvestrov (1937) is a Ukrainian composer of contemporary classical music, increasingly regarded as one of the
finest composers of his generation.
Using traditional tonal and modal techniques, Silvestrov creates a unique and delicate tapestry of dramatic and emotional textures, qualities which Silvestrov suggests are otherwise sacrificed in much of contemporary music.

The Other One
by Henry Threadgill
supported by 5 fans who also own “Moments Of Memory III (6 Pieces For String Orchestra, 2003)”
A very interesting album. At a few places I keep asking myself: Was this composed by Arnold Schönberg (or his disciples)? Anyway, I'm all for skilled musicians exploring the boundary (if one exists) between jazz and classical. Thumbs up!
