The second cello concerto, entitled: Y: la fiesta está en pleno apogeo – And: The feast is in full progress (1993), is based on a poem by the Chuvash poet Gennadi Aigi. The vision of a raging mass of people awaiting the last Judgment is transformed into music by the composer with gripping, immediate, expressive force, free of graphic patterns. A moment of glory not for Gubaidulina only, but for David Geringas on cello, too. And as a bonus on this CD: Diez Preludios –Ten Preludes for Cello, in Vladimir Tonkha’s equally inspired interpretation. Both cellists are the dedicatees of the works they perform.

Polyharmony, Tone Cluster and Counter Rhythm: the three movements of Henry Cowell’s piano concer-to of 1928 (very nearly) reveal the essence of his oeuvre. |

Dizzying virtuosity, a dainty sense of harmony, an altogether highly original musical language in bright colors - these are the hallmarks of Rueda’s grand oeuvre. |
