Beethoven Orchester Bonn; Roman Kofman - Silvestrov: Symphony No. 6

Ukrainian-born composer, Valentin Silvestrov, completed his 6th Symphony in 1995. It is written in five non-stop movements.Roman Kofman is very much attuned to the work and with their ongoing Shostakovich cycle reaching new accolades, the Beethoven Orchestra of Bonn are well nigh ideal interpreters with a genuine feel for this difficult music. MDG's recording is excellent in all departments and one hopes for more symphonies by this enigmatic composer from these forces in the not too distant future. - Classical.net
