The Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov, today a war exile, is a recognized master of the miniature. Two years younger than Arvo Pärt, Silvestrov’s music also seeks simplicity, however preferring the tenderness of the domestic alcove to Pärt’s sacral atmospheres. Nurit Stark and Alessandro Stella, old friends of the Festival, retrace a selection of short pieces with a spontaneous and intimate lyricism, telling the audience the interweaving between life and work of this extraordinary protagonist of today’s music.
