Yes its wonderful, I belive that we had some discussion about it a few
monts on the list, check the archives.

I'm also a huge Ustvolskaya fan (both in admiration and size!), I credit
myself (Perhaps falsely) to having introduced Ustvolskaya to this list
way back in 1996. I'm not sure that I agree with Daniel about her
production of the "1950'ies" being her most important, but that her post
1970 works are som of the most imposing and demanding, not least in a
symphonical sense, wich Ustvolskaya says her music should be heard as.
I recomed the Philips release of three "Compositions I - III" (w. the
Schonberg Ensemble/de Leeuw) as starting point - if its still availible.
Otherwise I thoroughly recommend the Complete Galina Ustvolskaya edition
from the Belgian Label MegaDisc: [ http://www.megadisc.be/ ] (I hope I got
the URL right) There are alos a few releases of her music on lables like
"Hat Art" (Hat Hut) and "etcetera" but I do not think that they are
remotely as succesful as the ones on MegaDisc, a lable that have several
interesting releases availible if You are a Russophile like me, f.x. of
Valentin Silvestrov's music.
