Sofia Gubaidulina

to Pauline Post (Photo RV)Muziekgebouw aan het IJ had its doors open this afternoon for a public rehearsal in attendance of composer Sofia Gubaidulina. A good occasion to sniff the atmosphere and take some snapshots.

It is highly entertaining and educative to see some colleagues at work, like pianist Pauline Post getting directions how to perform some bars in Rubaiyat, or see Sofia Gubaidulina and bassoonist Stafanie Liedtke worry about a crescendo and decrescendo in Hommage à T.S. Eliot without losing or adding tones in a particular multiphonic.

This evening is the last of a small Gubaidulina festival in Amsterdam. Coming week she will be in Groningen where new music organization Prime and het Noord Nederlands Orkest are responsible for a five day festival about Gubaidulina and Heiner Goebbels.
