This recording offers a rich portrait of Sofia Gubaidulina—one of the most original and spiritually driven composers of the late 20th century—through four works that reveal her fascination with silence, breath, and transcendence. In Silenzio (1991), for accordion, violin, and cello, Gubaidulina uses soft dynamics and hidden rhythmic structures to evoke silence as fertile ground for creation. De profundis (1978), her first major work for solo accordion, transforms the instrument into a voice of human suffering and hope, drawing symbolic depth from Psalm 130. Et exspecto (1985) continues this exploration, structured around variations on the act of breathing itself. Finally, In Erwartung (1994), composed for the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet and Kroumata Percussion Ensemble, stages a musical “meeting” between air and percussion—between the immediate and the mediated—culminating in a radiant unity of sound. Performances by Geir Draugsvoll, Arne Balk Møller, Henrik Brendstrup, the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, and Kroumata bring Gubaidulina’s visionary sound world vividly to life.
