Two minutes of brilliance from Ukraine
Daily Comfort ZoneLeif Ove Andsnes plays part of a Bagatelle by Silvestrov.
Listen to it every night before sleep.
Lief Ove says: ‘A part of a Bagatelle by the Ukrainian Valentyn Silvestrov. The 84 years old composer was evacuated from his home in Kyiv a few days ago. Am so shocked and saddened by this nightmare. Love and strength to Ukraine and its people.’
Here are the Bagatelles:

Post-apocalyptic meditations.
Leiv Ove Andsnes,a truly great pianist and musician….Far more than some stars too much in love with the limelight…..His Rachmaninoff cycle with Pappano is my benchmark set.
Agreed, agreed, agreed 1000%, music lover!
Andsnes is a marvel.
