Info zu Gubaidulina: Complete Guitar Works

Sofia Gubaidulina has found a soulfulness and freedom in the guitar which speaks to her musical language of expressive mood and often mysterious but precise sonorities. In both Repentance and Sotto Voce she combines guitars with lower stringed instruments, creating a virtuosic, multi-dimensional and deeply poetic role for each voice. Fascinating new sounds from the guitar are produced, from the most eloquent chorales to remarkable effects using a drinking glass. The earlier Serenade is ‘music for pleasure’, while this première recording of the Toccata reveals a work with a driving momentum that hardly stops.

„The first collection in CD of compositions by Sofia Gubaidulina devoted entirely to works for guitar contains older and solo compositions for the acoustic guitar plus new compositions that unfold in combination with other string instruments. The new musical materials have a great creative thickness and reproduce clear and expressive themes that are found in modern music through improvisation and the exploration of natural harmonics. And they propose a clear break from the usual Russian composition for the guitar.“ (Ettore Garzia, Percorsi Musicali)

„…a stimulating listening experience.“ (Stephen Smoliar, Examiner.com)
