This is not your Grandfather's accordion, it is among the most profound compositions of the past fifty years played with the highest level of artistry. Sofia Gubaidulina is, beyond doubt, one of the best living composers. She makes almost all of the more famous, would be avant guard look like the fiddling adolescents they are.
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date.

I've just discovered Sofia Gubaidulina ( Fachwerk and Silenzio so far ) and I have to agree, she blows most other composers out of the water. Stunning music.
