In 2006, the music world lost one of its most distinctive voices, the Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya. This tribute to her obsessive and haunting vision, conceived by pianist and conductor Marino Formenti, includes the harrowing Composition No. 2 for piano, eight double basses and wooden box, and Symphony No. 5, a dramatic setting of The Lord's Prayer. World premieres by two of Europe's most important younger composers who share her spiritual concerns are also heard in this season finale.
