Always looking to enrich her repertoire, violinist Isabelle Faust has released an exciting and ambitious album alongside soprano Anna Prohaska, who is also experienced in contemporary repertoire. Very much at ease with smaller ensembles, Hungarian composer György Kurtág (born in 1926) began to sketch out tiny pieces for soprano and violin in 1985 without any specific end goal in mind. These pieces were based on texts by Kafka, taken not from his literary works but his diaries. These writings form an overview of the reflections, wanderings and inner workings of the author’s soul, touching on happiness, despair, biting irony, the certainty of death and the bitterly absurd.


Kurtág wrote around forty haiku-like miniature pieces reflecting on existential fragility, leaving the sequence of their selection to the performers, and their publication, to the Hungarian musicologist András Wilhelm. This piece of work is filled with strong, contradictory emotions, which are magnified here by two musicians at the peak of their artistic careers. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Albumbeschreibung

Always looking to enrich her repertoire, violinist Isabelle Faust has released an exciting and ambitious album alongside soprano Anna Prohaska, who is also experienced in contemporary repertoire. Very much at ease with smaller ensembles, Hungarian composer György Kurtág (born in 1926) began to sketch out tiny pieces for soprano and violin in 1985 without any specific end goal in mind. These pieces were based on texts by Kafka, taken not from his literary works but his diaries. These writings form an overview of the reflections, wanderings and inner workings of the author’s soul, touching on happiness, despair, biting irony, the certainty of death and the bitterly absurd.


Kurtág wrote around forty haiku-like miniature pieces reflecting on existential fragility, leaving the sequence of their selection to the performers, and their publication, to the Hungarian musicologist András Wilhelm. This piece of work is filled with strong, contradictory emotions, which are magnified here by two musicians at the peak of their artistic careers. © François Hudry/Qobuz
