Tomasz Kamieniak - Silvestrov- Echoes of Harmony (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

21st-century piano music by the most distinguished Ukrainian composer of our time, recorded by a Polish pianist who has already won acclaim for his interpretations of Silvestrov’s music.
With the album ‘Melodies of Silence’, Tomasz Kamieniak demonstrated his affinity with the music of Valentyn Silvestrov, as international critics have recognised. ‘The spectrum of piano literature is referenced,’ according to Gramophone, ‘thus making Silvestrov’s endeavour as inclusive as it is extensive. Kamieniak is an enlightening guide, and one looks forward to future instalments in a project like no other.’
This second instalment continues to document the fertile creativity which Silvestrov has found in the last quarter-century, especially in the field of music for the piano and for choirs. Begun seemingly as a distraction from large-scale works, this concentration on the piano has resulted in some 30 hours of music, organised into several dozen cycles of short pieces, most of them hardly more than a couple of minutes in length.
Silvestrov then organised these into ‘meta-cycles’, each of them lasting in excess of an hour, intended to be performed as an unbroken continuity.
