A figure who remained true to her cause, and resisted any enticement to be opportunistic, she was to remain silent in the Soviet Union for many a long year. But her spirit was never broken. Galina Ustvolskaya lived and survived in a small, constricting space. To call her music that of “protest” would be somewhat too facile – it was simply “different”. The complete recording of her works by Sabine Liebner demonstrates her individuality and strict stylistic continuity, displaying too a slow progress of radicalization deep within her soul. From simple building blocks of sound she cultivates clear but complex structures; a non-military step of crotchets is changed into the tintinnabulation of bells, which finally crack.
