I first encountered the music of Valentin Silvestrov when I was with the Toronto Symphony and conductor Jukka-Pekka Saraste programmed his Symphony #5. This incredibly moving piece had a huge effect on me and I started to search out more of his music. Besides his nine symphonies, and exquisite chamber music and songs, he has composed and recorded the most beautiful liturgical settings in choral music. In my arrangement of the cello Postlude I moved everything down a fourth from the original (D to A) but kept all the octave relationships and harmonics as intended. The music is available from the publisher (Schott) and my arrangement is not available.
