Sofia Gubaidulina - Sofia Gubaidulina (2002)

Posted By : AneL_GR | Date : 07 Jan 2010 23:09:53 | Comments : 11 |

The composer from the Tartar Republic of the former Soviet Union is a unique figure in contemporary music, and the first ECM album of her compositions underlines many of the strengths of her work, foremost among them a deep feeling for sound and texture. As a colourist, too, Gubaidulina has few equals, and the way in which she mixes "folk" and "concert" instruments - in this case the bayan (the Russian button accordion), the violoncello and strings - is exceptional. Tremendous performances by Elsbeth Moser, Boris Pergamenschikow and the Münchener Kammerorchester under Christoph Poppen.

If you haven't yet been lured into the compelling world of Sofia Gubaidulina's music, this might be just the disc to do it. Her "Seven Words" is built as a sort of double concerto for bayan (Russian button accordion) and cello. High and low, God and man are interwoven over a mysterious, velvety texture of strings. Pärt meets Penderecki - in the best possible way. Gorgeous, and unforgettable.
