Review title: One of the great violin concertos of the 20th Century.
Product review: Both beautiful and harrowing, Gubaidulina's Offertorium is a great violin concerto, right up there with Alban Berg's Violin Concerto and Frank Martin's Polyptique. The point of departure is a quote from Bach. The rest is something like a spiritual journey. It is a richly textured work, so much so that it is easy to forget that it is actually a violin concerto, good news for those who dislike Kremer, although this truly is a great performance. Now, if you do like Kremer, like I do, then this disc is self-recommending.
