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.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
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.
