Sofia Gubaidulina's "Gubaidulina: Sieben Worte / In croce," released on January 1, 1994, under the Wergo label, is a profound exploration of minimalist and avant-garde music. This album is a spiritual and musical journey, divided into seven parts, each titled "Sieben Worte" (Seven Words), followed by a Latin phrase reflecting the last words of Jesus Christ. The pieces are deeply contemplative, with Gubaidulina's signature style of intricate textures and rhythmic precision. The final track, "In croce," adds a poignant conclusion to this introspective work. Spanning 54 minutes, the album is a testament to Gubaidulina's ability to blend profound emotional depth with structural innovation, making it a compelling listen for those drawn to the avant-garde and minimalist genres.
