PROGRAM

Kafka Fragments (Kafka-Fragmente) by György Kurtág

Stellar new music champions Susan Narucki (soprano) and Curtis Macomber (violin) in a rare performance of the hellishly difficult but exhilaratingly beautiful Kafka Fragments. Hungarian composer György Kurtág’s seventy-five-minute multi-movement work uses fragments of texts from the diaries of Franz Kafka, to create a kaleidoscopic world of sound, sense and expression. Each fragment – some lasting less than a minute –is singular and potent; each movement offers a glimpse of a distinct viewpoint, and each gains in meaning through juxtapositions throughout the work as a whole. -New Music USA
