Gubaidulina - Complete Piano Music
This recording explores Sofia Gubaidulina’s piano music from 1963–1978, a formative and daring period in her career. It features early works such as the Chaconne, built on baroque variation techniques but charged with modern intensity, and the Sonata, which balances strict serial elements with expressive freedom. The playful Musical Toys offers fourteen character pieces written for children, full of color and imagination. Later works like Toccata-Troncata and Invention showcase her fascination with contrasts and rhythmic vitality, while the piano concerto Introitus unfolds as a deeply spiritual meditation, uniting symbolic sound worlds in a quest for transcendence. Pianist Béatrice Rauchs and the Kiev Chamber Players under Vladimir Kozhukhar bring these works to life with clarity and conviction, revealing the richness and originality of Gubaidulina’s voice.
