The Triple Concerto is a composition for violin, cello, bayan, and orchestra written in 2017 by the Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina.
[1] Reviewing the world premiere, Zoë Madonna of The Boston Globe highly praised the concerto, writing, "Gubaidulina here imbued the element of breath into every instrument.
Baiba Skride drew whistling harmonics out of her violin, and in dialogue with it, Harriet Krijgh’s cello line fluttered upward.
She added, "The music created the illusion of human voices, the purest representation of breath, and time seemed to expand and contract with the spectrum of sounds.
"[3] Aaron Keebaugh of the Boston Classical Review similarly lauded the piece as "one of [Gubaidulina's] most important works," adding, "The audience seemed to recognize this, showering the composer and the musicians with cheers of appreciation.
