Concert | Visiting Orchestra
The programme allows us to feel as if we were witnessing a history of music, based on György Kurtág’s sense of sound and the concentration in his work, but according to the artist’s labyrinthine fantasy rather than in any systematic fashion. We hear the expressive sound architecture of early choral music, Bartók’s vitality, and Webern’s extremely dense musical approach.
