Kurtag & Ligeti: Music for Viola
Description
In his liner note, Wolfgang Sandner comments: "For twenty years Kim Kashkashian has devoted herself to Kurtág's complex oeuvre for the viola and developed a remarkable rapport for the relation between compositional fabric and sonic nuance. In the thoughtful dramaturgical sequence of this recording, and in Kashkashian's scrupulous reading, these Kurtág pieces, and the six movements of Ligeti's Viola Sonata that follows them, seem like the work of a single visionary artist - conveyed in hidden signs and coded messages."
Amongst her many notable albums for ECM New Series, Kashkashian has recorded Kurtág's Movement for viola and orchestra and also his Nine Pieces for Solo Viola, the early Jelek for viola, op 5, and the chamber work Hommage à R.Sch. This is the ninth disc on the label devoted in whole or in part to Kurtág's music.
