The
composer writes, 'Quite
some time ago I heard -
through a conversation in
a mobile phone - a
wonderful concert of
ringing church bells from
an European capital. I
found it very hard to
concentrate about the
conversation, because I
was so engrossed by the
chaotic world of bell
sound. The night after, I
dreamt that the sound of
those low singing bells
was rising up from a
piano in a huge empty
concert hall. That
experience became the
starting point for my
piano piece, 'The Shadows
of Silence'. But before
the piece gets to the
ringing bells it moves
through a landscape of
shadows - Shadows of the
silence before the bells
- Silence before the
storm - Shadows of
melodies which all the
time leaves traces even
in the short passages of
storm. After the passage
with the low ringing
bells the shadows of
silence returns melted in
to a lament, which are
sending two regards. One
to two small beautiful -
not very well known -
bars by Mozart, and one
to the sextet in my own
opera, 'Under the
Sky'.
