A Garden of Joy in a World of Sorrow (2011)

Gubaidulina is one of the most prominent and profound composers of the second half of the 20th century. According to many, she is the most outstanding female composer of our time. Her work reflects a desire to organically unite the qualities of Western and Eastern art, influenced by spiritual and religious concepts. Through faith, she also finds meaning in her creative work. Along with Alfred Schnittke and Edison Denisov, Gubaidulina is part of the so-called "trio" of Moscow composers associated with the avant-garde movement.
