Building a Library: Gillian Moore recommends the best of Sofia Gubaidulina on record. Born in 1935, Russia's greatest living composer was blacklisted and denounced by the Soviet authorities early in her career - a situation which she turned to her advantage. Because, without performances of her music, she was able to compose without compromise and with complete integrity. Whether via 12-tone serialism, microtonal music or folk music improvisation, Gubaidulina's unique voice is characterised by an intense spirituality: "True art for me," she says, "is always religious; it will always involve collaborating with God."

Continuing Radio 3's Monteverdi's 450 celebrations, Anna Picard picks the plums from recently released collections of his music by an international array of conductors and ensembles including William Christie and Les Arts Florissants, Jean Tubéry and La Fenice, Rinaldo Alessandrini and Concerto Italiano and Harry Christophers and The Sixteen.
