Anne-Sophie Mutter is currently playing Sofia Gubaidulina's In Tempus Praesens with Michael Tilson Thomas and the New York Philharmonic. Above is an excerpt from a video in which composer and soloist talk about the work. There will be more Gubaidulina at the Philharmonic in two weeks, when Kurt Masur, Cynthia Phelps, and Rebecca Young reprise her Two Paths, the two-viola concerto that had its premiere in 1999. I wrote a column on Gubaidulina back in 1997.
