Silent Songs

"What I do can be called poetry in music"
Valentyn Sylvestrov

Valentyn Sylvestrov's vocal cycle "Silent Songs" was written for piano and voice on poems by classical poets. The cycle consists of 24 songs that reveal the deep love of the composer to Ukrainian and Russian poetry, to the beauty embodied in it of feelings and glorified nature.
The author himself said that the main character of the cycle is "poetry of the heart". In "Silent Songs", the deepest, most cherished thoughts are embodied. In all the works of the cycle there is a harmonious unity of poetry and music.
It is music for self-observation, self-immolation and staying alone with yourself.
