As always with this composer, the music is intimately connected to her religious and philosophical beliefs. In the violin concerto In tempus praesens the numbers 1 and 3 – derived from the Holy Trinity – play an important role, as well as the concept of 'Sophia', implying divine wisdom and the creative power of God. The work was premiered by Anne-Sophie Mutter at the 2007 Lucerne Festival, and belongs to the most frequently performed instrumental concertos by a living composer. The soloist here is Vadim Gluzman who has received wide acclaim for his previous discs on BIS ('Gluzman brings a compelling intensity, the sound firm but unerringly beautiful.' The Sunday Times). Another pillar of Gubaidulina's musical thinking is rhythm, as she herself has emphasized: 'When I considered which of the three fundamental aspects of the musical texture… might represent the "roots", it became clear to me that it was rhythm.' It is therefore not surprising that she has written numerous works featuring percussion, the most recent one being the concerto Glorious Percussion which received its first performance in 2008 by an international group of eminent percussionists adopting the work's title as its name. In this world premiere recording of the work, the ensemble appears with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra under the acclaimed conductor Jonathan Nott providing expert support here as well as in the opening work on the disc.
