"I've just recently got aquainted with the works of Ustvolskaya.Her two compositions on ECM's "Misterioso",Clarinet Trio and Sonata for piano and violin,are both exellent.Especially I liked Trio.I think it's one of the masterpieces of the XX century's chamber music.The same can be said about Octet from this CD.Other two works are very good, too.Though her musical output is very small,but her best compositions are true gems and are highly recomended for Gubaidulina,Schnittke,Shostakovich fans."
