Description:

HÃ©lÃ¨ne Grimaud and Konstantin Krimmel pay homage to Ukraineâ??s greatest living composer with an album of songs by Valentin Silvestrov. Silent Songs blends the voices of classic Russian, Ukrainian and English poets to create a â??harmony of mysterious powerâ? (Yevgeni Baratynsky) The gentle music and quiet nostalgia of some of the most exquisitely beautiful poetry ever written flows through HÃ©lÃ¨ne Grimaudâ??s latest album. Valentin Silvestrovâ??s Silent Songs includes contemplative settings of verse by Golden and Silver Age Russian poets Pushkin, Lermontov, Tyutchev, Baratynsky, Zhukovsky, Yesenin and Mandelstam, Ukrainian lyrics by Taras Shevchenko, and Russian translations of poetry by Keats and Shelley. Grimaud presents a dozen pieces from this haunting tribute to the innate music of poetic words. She is joined by the young baritone Konstantin Krimmel, winner of the 2018 International Helmut Deutsch Lied Competition. -

Nearly twenty years have passed since HelSne Grimaud first encountered Valentin Silvestrov's Silent Songs. She has finally found a partner to perform these songs with in the sensational young baritone Konstantin Krimmel. HelSne explains, "It's music I find very touching in it's honest and transparency. It's poetic. It's not pretending to be anything and has a very special color and texture."
