	Russian culture navigator
		Gubaidulina was born in the Russian republic of Tatarstan in 1931.
		Gubaidulina's style stems from her perfect command of all composition techniques known to this day, on the one hand, and from her boundless fantasy and intuition, enabling her to see the unusual in ordinary things, find new forms of sound extraction and enrich her musical palette.
		Gubaidulina's largest work is the "St. John Passions" oratorio, commissioned to her by the Bach academy in Stuttgart in 2000 for the 250th death anniversary of Johann Sebastian Bach.

	Guardian Unlimited Arts \| \| It pays to be poor
		Sofia Gubaidulina's 'music of poverty' was born of Soviet repression and censorship - and was all the richer for it.
		What seemed to matter most to Gubaidulina, however, was not their relationship, but his "eastern" roots: she proudly showed me a muzzy photograph on her desk of her father's father, a mullah wearing a white embroidered robe and white turban, taken around the time of the 1917 revolution.
		For Gubaidulina, the summit of her life's work is her massive millennium commission, The Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ according to St John, heard at the Albert Hall in the 2002 Proms.

	Kancheli: Styx, Gubaidulina: Viola Concerto - A Good-Music-Guide Review
		She, like the other two Russian composers mentioned uses silence as an instrument independent of the orchestra, and judicious application of the brass and woodwind instruments leads to greater effectiveness and impact when they are used in full force.
		The big difference though is that whereas Shostakovich could be said to take the route of the irresponsible teenager, Gubaidulina goes for a more ambitious effect: she makes you feel claustrophobic because of the incredible building of tension without a climax.

	The Magic World of Sofia Gubaidulina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While Gubaidulina's often stark musical vision may not be as accessible to audiences as that of Schnittke, it remains a compulsive and often persuasive testament to artistic individuality, and may even transcend its period more completely over time.
		From Sofia's sister Dr Sultanova learned that the future composer used to experience the sound of the daily prayers of her grandmother, who was a religious 'clerk' in the chief Muslim centre of Kazan.
		Gubaidulina's four string quartets constitute an important line in her oeuvre, and it is good to have the first three gathered together with the trio which she wrote soon after quartet no 3.

		Perhaps the most remarkable highlight of this summer's festival (Aug. 9-14) was the presence of composer Sofia Gubaidulina, one of the most original, powerful, and highly respected voices in the world of contemporary music.
		Gubaidulina was brought to notice in the West primarily by the devoted advocacy of violinist Gidon Kremer, whose repeated performances of the composer's masterly violin concerto "Offertorium" catapulted her to international acclaim in the early 1980s.
		Brought to the Festival of Contemporary Music as a visiting composer, Gubaidulina met with young composers and supervised the rehearsals of her works (an evening concert was devoted to her chamber music, and her landmark choral work, "Jetzt immer Schnee," was presented on another mixed-evening concert).

	BBC - Classical Review - Gubaidulina, Sofia: Seven Words, München Kammerorchester
		Sofia Gubaidulina's new St John Passion was written for the Passion 2000 project, and reclaims the form for the 21st century with a growling, earth-shaking, unsettling power that leaves disturbing echoes in the mind long after the sounds themselves have vanished (the recording's on Hänssler if you haven't caught up with it yet).
		Gubaidulina follows Haydn's example, commenting on and trying to capture the agony and the mystery in sound alone.
		You may find yourself thinking of other composers from time to time, but Gubaidulina's power is in the fact that she always emerges entirely as herself.

	The Classical Free-Reed, Inc. CD Review of Geir Draugsvoll: Sofia Gubaidulina
		Gubaidulina's works are characterized by an almost total absence of 'absolute music,' ie., music devoid of extra-musical ideas.
		Most of her pieces are programmatic; they contain a poem, either set to music or hidden between the lines, a ritual or some kind of instrumental action.
		In addition, the CD booklet notes -- printed in English, German and French -- written by Valentina Kholopova and Sofia Gubaidulina are some of the best liner notes I have ever read: extremely informative and easy to read.

		Composition is described by Sofia Gubaidulina as a religious act.
		After all, Cage once said the goal of his music was to sober and quiet the mind thus making it susceptible to divine influences - and one can with some justification assume that this is precisely what he considered to be the goal of composition.
		So it is not surprising to see two works by Sofia Gubaidulina and John Cage combined on a CD.
