A profoundly spiritual composer, Sofia Gubaidulina has said for her, true art is always religious since it will always involve collaborating with God. As this album demonstrates, it is therefore less than fruitful to try to divide her music into the sacred and the secular. The opening work Jauchzt vor Gott, released here for the first time, is a nine-minute piece for choir and organ setting three verses from Psalm 66. On the large-scale Sonnengesang, dedicated to Mstislav Rostropovich, the important solo cello responsible for interpreting the meaning of the text is performed by Ivan Monighetti in dialogue with the eminent NDR Chor and with support from members of Elbtonal Percussion.
