Lucerne, Switzerland

Presenter: Lucerne Festival
Conductor: Wilfried Hiller
“My way of working is essentially different from that of other composers,” Galina Ustvolskaya once observed. “I write when I find myself in a state of grace.” Music as worship, as testimony to a higher inspiration? This concert launches the Credo series with a gathering of four composers whose works also contain a spiritual message: first is Sofia Gubaidulina, who musically traces the symbol of the cross in her duo “In croce” and who depicts the soul’s ascent into heavenly heights in “De profundis,” which was inspired by Psalm 130 (“Out of the depths, o Lord, I cry to You”). Her Bavarian colleague Wilfried Hiller similarly drew on a biblical text for his monodrama from 1979, “Ijob”: the story of a man who loses everything because God wishes to test his faith.
