Sofia Gubaidulina

Complete solo piano works Marcela Roggeri (piano) (Transart TR161) £12.72

Of the Russian composers after Shostakovich, Sofia Gubaidulina has made the biggest impression in the west as a fierce individualist. Her piano works have touches of wild humour in the jewel-like aphorisms of Musical Toys (minute-long pieces evoking a trumpet, an accordion, an echo, a drummer, forest musicians, and the non-PC "Bear playing the Double Bass and the Negress" which is pure boogie-woogie). There is more than a touch of Kurtág in her concentrated visions, while the early sonata and the magnificent chaconne are serious, drawing inspiration from both baroque and avant garde. Argentinian pianist Marcela Roggeri shines.

Dance Europe - March 2009

(...) It's to the great credit of Argentinean pianist, Marcela Roggeri, that Gubaïdulina's pleasing and almost effortless integrity and vision remain with the listener long after hearing the 14 pieces from beginning to end: deeply satisfying.
