Sofia Gubaidulina's "Gubaidulina: Sieben Worte / In croce" is a profound and introspective journey into the realms of avant-garde and minimalist music. Released on January 1, 1994, under the Wergo label, this album spans 54 minutes of deeply contemplative compositions. The centerpiece of the album is "Sieben Worte," a seven-part work that draws inspiration from the last words of Jesus Christ on the cross. Each movement explores a different phrase, creating a powerful and meditative experience. Complementing this is "In croce," a piece that further delves into the themes of suffering and redemption. Gubaidulina's masterful composition and the intricate interplay of sounds make this album a compelling exploration of faith, humanity, and the depths of the human spirit.
