...Flowering Over Lethe...

Description

This album pays tribute to the singular world of Valentin Silvestrov, a composer whose music reaches back to the past while resonating with the voices of contemporaries such as Leonid Hrabovsky, Alexander Knaifel, Arvo Pärt and Andre Volkonsky. Conceived and performed by pianist Alexei Lubimov, this recording unfolds as an intimate and uninterrupted journey; a musical dialogue between friends and kindred spirits, united by shared emotions. Silvestrov’s Bagatelles form the heart of the album: these are not miniatures in the traditional sense, but fleeting moments of music. Each piece remains open, blending into the next to form a delicate chain that gradually reveals a larger, shimmering shape. Offering a deeply personal listening experience, this album invites the listener into a space where every sound feels like a whisper through time: reflective, luminous and gently profound.
