¡Signs, Games & Messages
¡Simon Smith
Description
[Machine Translation] Bartok and Kurtag, two of Hungary's leading composers of the modern era, are featured in this disc of unaccompanied works. Kurtag's "Signs, Games and Messages" is an exquisite work that captures various landscapes and emotions and translates them into sound. The music is unique, sometimes with an ethnic flavor. Bartok's Sonata was written in his later years. It is a masterpiece that contains all of Bartok's musical techniques condensed in this piece, which was written at the request of Menuhin, and is scattered with difficult techniques that seem to challenge the limits of violin technique, while at the same time possessing lyrical beauty. Simon Smith approaches these two works with great sincerity.
