"I am convinced that the music of G. I. Ustvolskaya will achieve worldwide renown, to be valued by all who perceive truth in music to beofparamountimportance." Thus Dmitri Shostakovich commented on the work of his student (and, perhaps, lover) Galina Ustvolskaya, a composer of prickly independence and deep spiritual conviction, whom the late Ian MacDonald called "abrupt, anxious, explosively eccentric". Ustvolskaya lived out her life with a supreme disregard for public acclaim; her handful of passionate and bizarre works similarly do nothing to cultivate the listener. Nevertheless, Ustvolskaya’s stature as a questioning, uncompromising musical figure is growing apace. Her small catalogue of works speaks of a composer whose gestures are both carefully weighted and concentrated.
