Chamber music – Sofia Gubaidulina

Seize the opportunity to get to know more sides of Sofia Gubaidulina – one of today’s big and sought-after composers, whose music has a prominent spiritual dimension. Both chamber music and symphonic music by Gubaidulina will be played at Berwaldhallen in the same week.

Season 2017/2018
Date has passed

Gubaidulina’s Meditation on Bach Chorale ‘Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit’ is a suitably ghostly and emotional interpretation of chorale Before Your Throne I now Appear, which Bach is said to have composed on his deathbed. Brett Dean’s piano quintet Voices of Angels will also be performed. Dean’s background as a violist, for 15 years with the Berlin Philharmonics for instance, is evident in the minutely detailed string harmonies and skilfully chiselled out, heavenly sounds.
