Editorial Review:
Rare recordings of the music of this popular contemporary composer. Amazing choral virtuosity from the SWR Vocal Ensemble and director Marcus Creed. György Kurtág was long overshadowed by his fellow Hungarian György Ligeti, but in recent years his music has become far better known. Kurtág was the teacher of the renowned pianists András Schiff and Zoltán Kocsis at the Liszt Academy in Budapest.
