György Kurtág ist der Meister der komplexen Reduktion. Und einer der skrupulösesten Komponisten aller Zeiten. «Eigentlich weiss ich nicht, wie ich komponiere», sagt er. «Manchmal habe ich so Lähmungen. Nicht nur Monate, sogar jahrelang. Und in dieser Zeit weiss ich gar nicht, wie man komponiert. Das heisst, ich kann es nicht. Ich kann ein Stück nicht anfangen, wenn ich will. Nur, wenn es will.» Am 19. Februar wird Kurtág 99 Jahre alt. Daher widmen wir ihm die Musik unserer Zeit. Mit Interviewausschnitten. Mit einem Workshop, den er vor 15 Jahren gegeben hat und der deutlich macht, wie detailversessen Kurtag ist. Im zweiten Teil der Sendung seine Oper «Fin de partie», die er mit über 90 Jahren geschrieben hat.

French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard is widely known as an authority figure in contemporary music, and also for shedding new light on music of the past. His international concert career has already spanned several decades, with an enormous discography to boot, all of which he has carried out alongside a dedicated commitment to teaching. In 1973, at the age of 16, he won first prize in the Messiaen Competition, and three years later was invited by Pierre Boulez to be the first solo pianist of the Ensemble Intercontemporain. In addition to Boulez, he has collaborated very closely with leading composers like Kurtag, Birtwhistle, Ligeti, and Messiaen, having given countless world premieres over the course of his career.In this episode, Pierre-Laurent talks about his new recording of Schubert Ländler, what he learned from Ligeti and Messiaen, what we expect from performers as members of an audience, and why he's not actually *that* taken with the piano world.-------------------Buy Pierre-Laurent's new release, 'Schubert: Ländler' here-------------------Pierre-Laurent's links:WebsiteInstagramX (formerly Twitter)Facebook-------------------Follow The Classical Circuit on InstagramDid you enjoy this episode?

Kate Molleson travels to Budapest to meet Hungary's greatest living composer, György Kurtág, now 97 years old. Kurtag talks to Kate about the musical homages that he has made to friends, his early focus on the clarity of single notes at the time he wrote his Op.1 String Quartet, the influence of languages on his compositional style, and his new opera, a work based on the life of the German mathematician, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. Above all, he talks about his Marta, his wife of over 70 years, with whom he performed piano duets, and he reveals to Kate why he stayed in Hungary in 1956.Kurtag once said that his mother tongue is Bartok, and Kate visits the Bela Bartok Memorial House where she talks to the curator, Zoltán Farkas, about the composer's relationship with Hungary and the folk traditions that he collected both at home and in neighbouring countries. During a break in a busy rehearsal schedule, the conductor Ivan Fischer also shares his views on Bartok and the distinctive sound of the Budapest Festival Orchestra.Kate joins the director of the Hungarian Radio Choir, Zoltán Pad, and the composer Daniel Dinyes, to learn how the Hungarian language is expressed in music, and hear more about the unique sound of the choir. Kate also meets Hungary's queen of song, Márta Sebestyén, who is at the very heart of Hungary's folk music. Márta Sebestyén talks with pride about her mother, a celebrated student of Zoltan Kodaly, about her own travels in search of pure folk music. She treats Kate, too, to a traditional Christmas carol.

SynopsisIt's said that Nature abhors a vacuum – and so, apparently, did Richard Wagner, who devised a brass instrument to bridge a gap he perceived between the horns and the trombones in the orchestra of his day. And so the "Wagner tuba" was born, a brass instrument Wagner designed for the 1876 premiere of his cycle of four Ring operas in Bayreuth, Germany, which began on today's date that year with Das Rheingold – the first opera in the Ring cycle.Other composers have also scored for Wagner tubas, including Anton Bruckner and Richard Strauss, both ardent Wagner fans, and also Igor Stravinsky, who, though certainly not a Wagnerite, did include Wagner tubas in the early versions of some of his famous ballet scores.Some contemporary composers include parts for the Wagner tuba in their works as well, and a quartet of these instruments appears in a 1994 score the Hungarian composer, György Kurtág wrote for the Berlin Philharmonic and its then music director, Claudio Abbado. Kurtág is noted for his short, epigrammatic and very introspective chamber works, and "Stele" is his first major work for a large, conventional, arranged symphony orchestra.Music Played in Today's ProgramGyőrgy Kurtág (b. 1926) Stele, op. 33 SWR Symphony; Michael Gielen, conductor.

Synopsis The contemporary Hungarian composer György Kurtág is famous for writing very short, very sparse and VERY concentrated musical works. He has, however on occasional written more expansive pieces, including one big orchestral piece for the Berlin Philharmonic and some works for large chorus. Obsessively self-critical, Kurtág disavowed most of the music he wrote before his mid-thirties, which included some for chorus, but a suggestion from the Italian avant-garde composer Luigi Nono that he write for chorus again resulted in a work that the BBC Singers premiered in London on today's date in 1981. It has an Italian title, Omaggio a Luigi Nono, or Tribute to Luigi Nono, ¬– a tip of the hat to his Italian colleague, but the work itself is a setting of bits of Russian poems. Now at the time of its premiere, 25 years after the Russian-led invasion of Hungary in 1956 and 10 years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Hungarian eyebrows were raised when Kurtág chose to set Russian texts. Disparaging or just plain “diss-ing” ANYTHING Russian was the normal M.O. for Hungarian intellectuals in those days. Kurtág, for his part, stood his ground: as an ardent Dostoevsky's fan, he simply said Russian was a sacred language to him.

Icelandic born pianist Vikingur Olafsson has not yet made his Pittsburgh debut but he says he hopes to soon. He noticed the reviews of the recent tour by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and he's a Manfred Honeck fan. This season he will play in New York and Berlin having recorded seven highly praised CDs for the Deutsche Grammophon label. He speaks with Jim Cunningham about his recent visit to Fallingwater and the new disc which is actually two cds recorded on a grand piano and the same program on an upright instrument. Vikingur speaks about his admiration for the 96 year old Gyorgy Kurtag with whom he recently spent an inspirational day. Several of Kurtag's piano pieces are included on the new set along with Schumann, Bach, Icelandic folksongs and Bartok. Does he prefer the volcanic terrain of his native country to the uptown streets of Manhattan where he earned his masters degree at Juilliard? Both are who he is! Did his parents call him Vik? Check out this conversation from his home in Iceland by Zoom.

"It’s like rewriting in my own head all these assumptions that I made…finding my own place, as a woman and as a performer. To share my experience with a new kind generation of other people and singers who are interested in contemporary classical music.” Soprano, Rebecca Hardwick, talks to Music Works about her interest in contemporary music and how, when Covid shut down live music, her explorations of Kurtag’s Kafka Fragments led her to take up a DMus in contemporary performance at The Guildhall.

Der Ungar György Kurtág zählt zu den bedeutendsten Komponisten der Gegenwart. Als Professor an der Budapester Musikakademie hatte er schon fast das Pensionsalter erreicht, als ihm endlich der internationale Durchbruch gelang. Am 19. Februar feiert Kurtág seinen 90. Geburtstag.

Bach's austerely beautiful Art of Fugue has long fascinated musicians who have a taste for the modern and esoteric. The piece, left incomplete at the composer's death, reduced complex counterpoint to its bare essentials – so much that the composer didn't even indicate the instrument (or instruments) for which it was composed. In fact, most scholars agree that Bach probably intended the piece for the harpsichord, but a few string quartets have made their case for the work too. The New York-based Mivos Quartet recently brought the Contrapunctus XIX from The Art of Fugue to the WQXR Café as part of the station's month-long Bachstock festival. In an arrangement by Patrick Higgins, it dramatically calls attention to Bach's advanced sense of time and musical architecture. Formed in 2008 at the Manhattan School of Music, the Mivos Quartet has put much of its focus and resources into contemporary string quartet repertoire. But early-vintage works also turn up on their programs. "Maybe it seems random," says violist Victor Lowrie, "but when there's a program of new music, there's often much older music too – skipping the Classical and Romantic periods." Lowrie adds that, when compared to an exacting living composer, there's a great freedom when it comes to interpreting early music. Like the famous Arditti Quartet before them, Mivos's members are especially drawn to some of the knottier, more abstruse corners of the contemporary repertoire. Their touring calendar presents a who's-who of avant-garde presenters – from Darmstadt to Roulette and seemingly every modern art museum in between. (The quartet appears at Columbia University's Miller Theater on Dec. 9.) And their programs span established names like Kurtag and Ligeti to relative up-and-comers including Kate Soper and Missy Mazzoli.  But the Mivos musicians say they're hardly dogmatic about styles or genres. Cellist Mariel Roberts recalled a recent, eye-opening tour in Brazil, where she encountered idioms far removed from American or European traditions (more samba than serialism). It made for an amusing clash of cultures: "On the last night we were there, one composer was like, 'I don't understand why you guys have all of this weird music with no rhythm. In Brazil that's not something you do. Why would you take the soul out of music?' "I was like 'well, I never thought about it like that.'" Listen to the full concert above, which also features the fourth movement from Taylor Brook's quartet, El jardin de senderos que se bifurcan (also below), plus commentary from cellist Mariel Roberts and violist Victor Lowrie.
