Anybody ever hear this? It's pretty under-listened-to, this guy doesn't even have a wikipedia page. :_-( A visionary read me like a book last week and gave me this album, knowing I'm a big Arvo Part-ist and Alfred Schnittke-er. I really love it, I mean it's probably one of the top 10 musics I've ever heard so I have to post it, some people here (1 or 2 at most, typically) could dig it. It was a tribute for his recently de-lifed wife, and it's really powerful. Huge percussion, spine chilling choirs, pianos the size of houses, etc. It opens insanely dark and makes me feel like a huge portal has opened up over my house and is swallowing the city, but gradually the music gets a bit more hopeful. Very uncomfortable listen but it's not too hopeless once you make it past the initial onslaught. It ends bleak though. You can't escape the infinite sorrow, or something like that. but they're not telling at all, 1 minute clips from stuff like this just don't work. Just read the reviews and try instead. I like what this Amadeus888 wimp said- This is just my personal opinion: a literally "terrible" Requiem. Listening to this music, I feel as if a dark black sticky cloud that I cannot shake off has enveloped me. If this was Silvestrov's intention, then this piece of work is successful. And one more thing: the 5th movement is beautiful, like a ray of sunshine that penetrates the darkness. LOL, pussy. And he gave it a 1/5, the other two reviewers ''got'' it. He's right about the 5th movement though, stunning beauty surrounded by icky death. This work was nominated for a Grammy but don't worry, it didn't win. Anyway, yeah, if you're into Part and Schnittke and Ligeti and the like, you should hear this. |

Well Jay you really got my interest going in this one. I am real real big on people that can get an overwhelming feeling or emotion based on listening to music. Alot of music mowadays is just filler and doesnt ever develop into anything regardless of what fanboys and artists say. There is a very small percentage out there that actually does spawn a variety of different emotions and atmospheres. This obviously caught me when you typed that up because both you and the "pussy" reviewer (lol) felt similar things. I would go as far to say that was his intention although i know absolutely nothing about Valentin myself. This is the first time i have ever seen the name. Are you sharing this by chance? I would like an oppurtunity to hear it in full. Thanks for the bump marco! Thanks for the review and thoughts jay! |

I was right, only 1-2 interested people! Thanks the bump, Tridenti is good maligned people. Virgy- the entire thing is just a click away, click on ''this download''. I'm also sharing a bunch of stuff by him on soulseek, second or third best contemporary composer I've heard, although his music is kind of alienating. I used the term ''pussy'' affectionately, I can see some people being turned off, his stuff is extremely austere. Is that Luba? |

Ah yes! Our dearest Luba. I wonder if i have enough "game" to steal her from my favorite photographer. I would like to try. haha! I will have this download in around 12 minutes. Thanks for sharing. I didnt even realize that it was a download. Boy oh boy! :) I eagerly await this file! I will post results here. |

LOL@this topic here again Yeah the first one takes my breath away, but in a bad way. The whole first two movements in general make me feel uncomfortable, without resorting to atonal dins or anything too far out there. And it goes from the inkiest blackness to the most beautiful beauty, somehow. Wonder of wonders. Matvey, if you want it I can upload it again. But I'm too lazy to do so if there is no interest. |
