Composer's Notes
‘Concerto for 2 contrabassi and chamber orchestra on the subject of the war. The contrabass, with its depth, mystical resonance of sound, has always inspired me.
Dark, but at the same time, warm tones, allow to decorate that emotional state of mind that stirs the mind in times of uncertainty and lostness, anxiety. Sonorous sounds will immerse my listener in a philosophical reading and perception of my music.’ (Aziza Sadikova)
