Abstract
"Grammy-winning soprano Susan Narucki brings deep emotional depth to György Kurtág's Kafka Fragments, a chamber work based on 40 excerpts from Franz Kafka's writings. Since 1986, she has embodied its varied moods-anguish, longing, rage, humor, and ecstasy. Though Kurtág's largest song-cycle, it retains his signature miniature style, with brief movements. Violinist Curtis Macomber joins Narucki, forming the perfect duo to interpret Kurtág's fusion of poetry and music." --www.cvsmidwesttape.ca.
