Péter Sárik Trio, guest: Tamás Berki (HU)

A barokk hegedűs, Maya Homburger és zeneszerző-nagybőgős férje, Barry Guy különleges, zenetörténeti korszakokat és stílusokat átívelő koncertjein rendszeresen szólaltatnak meg Kurtág-kompozíciókat.

The importance of the Blue Note record company can hardly be overstated. The famous blue note-labeled albums recorded the pioneers of bebop after 1945, and then the defining small-band recordings of the hard bop era – these have become the eternal high points of jazz. The soloists of the Modern Art Orchestra, starting from the recordings of the first great era, relive the moments recorded on the blue-and-white label records.

As in Anton Webern's work, the short piece, short movement, or musical miniature in György Kurtág's oeuvre is not the result of any form of reduction. It is well known that, for neither composer, brevity refers to the duration of musical processes, but rather to the density of musical communication. The large-scale cycles composed of these dense communications – from The Sayings of Péter Bornemisza to Kafka Fragments and beyond – are particularly characteristic of Kurtág's output.
