About

Led by Jukka-Pekka Saraste, the Lahti Symphony Orchestra performs two symphonies by the Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov. Having as a student absorbed the music of Webern, Scriabin and the new Polish school, in the 1970s Silvestrov moved away from avant-garde techniques and became increasingly involved with the idiom of 19th-century song.

To date, Silvestrov has composed seven symphonies. Considered by some to be his masterpiece, Symphony No.5 has been described as an epilogue inspired by the music of late Romantic composers such as Gustav Mahler.
