Ustvolskaya might be the only composer whose music is truly suited to our present moment. It is angry, thrilling, and resists any hit of patriotism. (Happy July 4th, by the way!) This documentary is special for the time it gives us with the composer herself: on a walk in nature, at home in her apartment, heading to church. “They’re still filming us,” she says of the documentary crew. “They’re doing that all the time.”
