Celebrating Sofia Gubaidulina on her 90th birthday, Deutsche Grammophon honors one of today's leading composers. Andris Nelsons and his Gewandhausorchester present three profound and spiritual orchestral works recorded for the first time. Included are the violin concerto "Dialog: Ich und Du," dedicated to and performed by Vadim Repin, along with Gubaidulina's orchestral pieces "The Wrath of God" and "The Light of the End." Nelsons expressed hopes that this musical portrait would convey the emotional power of Gubaidulina's music to a wider audience.
