"Four Stars ... (played with) furious intensity ... very fine performances ..."
- The Guardian
“Five Stars ... Ustvolskaya's choice of dissonance and evocative chords have a precision of aural imagination which seem to bloom in ECM's empty hall acoustic."
- BBC Music Magazine
"... (Kopatchinskaja is) the most combative female violinist of her generation ... proves an ideal exponent ... music such as this admits of no false compromise and accordingly finds soughty advocacy in Kopatchinskaja."
- Gramophone
The unique expressiveness of the work of Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya speaks to the listener with directness and nuanced layers of sound, the powerful, rhythmic stringency of the music testifying to the relentlessness of her vision. Fiercely independent, Ustvolskaya maintained that her music sounded like the work of no other composer, living or dead, and put herself outside all stylistic schools. Entering this sound world calls for a special kind of commitment and intensity as demonstrated by Patricia Kopatchinskaja, described by Strings magazine as “the most exciting violinist in the world.” She is accompanied by pianist Markus Hinterhäuser on the Sonata For Violin And Piano and the duet; clarinetist Reto Bieri joins in on the Trio for Clarinet, Violin And Piano.
