ECM's documentation of outstanding music from the former Soviet Union continues with Svete Tikhiy, the first of several albums from the Uzbekistan-born and St Petersburg-based composer, Alexander Knaifel.

This recording - featuring the distinguished Keller Quartett with pianist Oleg Malov, and the voice of Tatiana Melentieva processed by Andrei Siegle - brings together important new developments and impulses in Knaifel's music. The Keller Quartet play with the conviction and imagination they also brought to their prize-winning and critically acclaimed New Series recordings of the string music of György Kurtág ("Musik für Streichinstrumente") and Bach's "Die Kunst der Fuge".

Recorded 1997 and 2000

Tracks:

In Air Clear and Unseen, stanzas with Tyutchev for piano and string quartet (1994)
Svete Tikhiy (O Gladsome Light), the Song of the Most Holy Theotokos for Tatiana Melentieva (1991)
