György Kurtág himself introduces his first masterpiece on this recording: the words of Péter Bornemisza's archaic sermons resonate particularly strongly in Kurtág's voice. His song cycle reveals more than the power of utterance - it uncovers the genesis of a composer's logic that's devoted to the singing voice. The songs are interpreted by the soprano Tony Arnold and pianist Gábor Csalog.

Press Quotes
The result is a huge achievement, that leaves one properly hammered but also fortified. Kurtág does not ease his challenge; he thrusts it straight away - at the singer, at the pianist, and most certainly at the listener - in a fourminute tirade of wild vocal leaps in which song is contorted towards snarls, yelps, groans, punctuated and propelled by hot alarm from the piano.
