S. K. Remembrance Noise

Description

Dezső Tandori's poems, raising abstract, linguistic and art-philosophical questions, seem to be far from Kurtág's individuality, yet he is one of the Hungarian poets whose texts the composer returned to several times. S.K. Remembrance Noise (together with the Four songs to the poems of János Pilinszky and the string quartet Hommage a András Mihály) belongs to the most concentrated style layer of Kurtág music, which creates movements from individual musical gestures, often from "objets trouvés". Reflecting on Tandori's poems, it is in this cycle that Kurtág's peculiarly absurd humor also comes to the fore.
