Oeuvre: Kafka-Fragmente, Op.24

Belle idée que d'associer les Eight Songs for a Mad King de Peter Maxwell Davies et des Kafka-Fragmente de György Kurtág, dans une mise en scène de Barrie Kosky et avec un ensemble d'interprètes brillants !

This enticing ensemble of soprano and piano trio evoked, delighted and expressed with heightened intensity in less well-known repertoire, including from some big names.

“The moonlit night dazzled us. Birds shrieked in the trees. There was a rush of wind in the fields. We crawled through the dust, a pair of snakes.”Maybe the pair of snakes is Franz Kafka, the author, and György Kurtág, the composer who set this short passage (along with 39 others by Kafka) to music.
