In the post-Soviet period, since the late 80s and early 90s, a number of composers have explored new directions in creative styles thanks to new political and cultural freedoms. This study focuses on Valentyn Silvestrov’s unique Sonata for Violin and Piano “Post Scriptum” (1990), investigating its musical details and their meaning in its post- Soviet compositional context. The purpose is to contribute to a broader overview of Ukraine’s classical music tradition, especially as it relates to national identity and the ii current cultural and political state of the country.

TOCCATA Alfred CLASSICS SCHNITTKE Discoveries Yellow Sound: stage composition for pantomime, instrumental ensemble, soprano and mixed chorus Dialogue for cello and ensemble Six Preludes for piano Magdalina for mezzo soprano and piano Variations for string quartet Artists include Liora Grodnikaite, mezzo soprano Alexander Ivashkin, cello Oleh Krysa, violin Drosostalitsa Moraiti, piano Bolshoi Soloists’ Ensemble Alexander Lazarev, conductor SCHNITTKE DISCOVERIES by Alexander Ivashkin This CD presents a series of ive works from across Alfred Schnittke’s career – all of them unknown to the wider listening public but nonetheless giving a conspectus of the evolution of his style. Some of the recordings from which this programme has been built were unreleased, others made specially for this CD. Most of the works were performed and recorded from photocopies of the manuscripts held in Schnittke’s family archive in Moscow and in Hamburg and at the Alfred Schnittke Archive in Goldsmiths, University of London. Piano Preludes (1953–54) The Piano Preludes were written during Schnittke’s years at the Moscow Conservatory, 1953–54; before then he had studied piano at the Moscow Music College from 1949 to 1953. An advanced player, he most enjoyed Rachmaninov and Scriabin, although he also learned and played some of Chopin’s Etudes as well as Rachmaninov’s Second and the Grieg Piano Concerto. It was at that time that LPs irst became available in the Soviet Union, and so he was able to listen to recordings of Wagner’s operas and Scriabin’s orchestral music. The piano style in the Preludes is sometimes very orchestral, relecting his interest in the music of these composers.
