CD Reviews

Excellent composer, good performances

08/16/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"First of all, it's not Galina Ustvolskaya herself who plays here (as anounced by Amazon), but a fine group of performers: Marianne Schroeder (piano), Rohan de Saram (violoncello, known as a member of the Arditti Quartet), Felix Renggli (piccolo) and David Le Clair (tuba). Ustvolskaya (1919- ) is one of the best Soviet/Russian composers of the 20th century. She has a unique and very strong personality, with an always incredibly original language. The most interesting piece here is the more recent one, "Composition No 1 / Dona Nobis Pacem" (1970/1971). The other two, her Twelve Preludes for piano (1953) and the "Grand Duet" (1959), are important productions of her youth. The Preludes, particularly, are a very useful example of how, during the Stalin era, a really good composer could create really good music in spite of all."
