Cellist Matt Haimovitz and Kharkiv-born pianist Nadia Shpachenko present Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov’s Postludium No. 3, “a piece that merges the cello and piano organically into one celestial, loving breath, a metaphor for the power of music to unify in a divisive world.” To Haimovitz, playing Silvestrov’s music and celebrating Ukrainian culture with native-born Nadia Shpachenko has been a wonderfully meaningful experience. The collaboration on this recording gave Shpachenko an outlet to convey her pain about the war, while projecting hope.
