    Genre: Classical | Label: Ecm | Catalog Number: 001719602

    The great viola player Kim Kashkashian has long been one of the most outstanding protagonists of modern composition and this bold and subtle account of solo music by the great Hungarian composers György Kurtág and György Ligeti is a landmark recording. Kurtág’s Signs, Games and Messages (1989- in progress) in its 19 aphoristic sections is as demanding as Ligeti’s Sonata for viola (1991-94), but Kashkashian surmounts the very different challenges of the works, and points towards the qualities that unite these composers. As ever, she gets to the heart of the music, and unravels its secrets.

    In his liner note, Wolfgang Sandner comments: “For twenty years Kim Kashkashian has devoted herself to Kurtág’s complex oeuvre for the viola and developed a remarkable rapport for the relation between compositional fabric and sonic nuance. In the thoughtful dramaturgical sequence of this recording, and in Kashkashian’s scrupulous reading, these Kurtág pieces, and the six movements of Ligeti’s Viola Sonata that follows them, seem like the work of a single visionary artist – conveyed in hidden signs and coded messages.”

    Amongst her many notable albums for ECM New Series, Kashkashian has recorded Kurtág’s Movement for viola and orchestra (4654202) and also his Nine Pieces for Solo Viola, the early Jelek for viola, op 5, and the chamber work Hommage à R.Sch. (4379572). This is the ninth disc on the label devoted in whole or in part to Kurtág’s music.

    Composer: György Kurtág, György Ligeti
    Performer: Kim Kashkashian

    Reviews: So you think a recording of viola solos sounds daunting or even dull? Think again. This is a wonderful dual portrait of two of Hungary’s greatest composers, one still with us, one recently deceased, both great friends through their mutual time on this planet. Kim Kashkashian has paired the great works for her instrument from the two Györgys—Kurtág and Ligeti. The former is a set of aphoristic pieces in the trademark style of the composer. They are mysterious, ranging from highly chromatic to more Central European folky, a music that continues Bartók’s legacy without imitating him. Depending on the mute or technique chosen, the viola can sound like a viol, a full-throated peasant keen, or an insect. The pieces are universally concise—no matter what their duration. You keep asking, “what can he come up with next?” and he never disappoints. This is a hallmark of Kurtág, and what makes him great: the capacity to endlessly revisit his obsessions and make each essay seem unique.


    The Ligeti is a late-career masterpiece. In six movements, each is a complete and invigorating world. The first is one of the best essays in microtonality by an “established” composer ever written, the fourth an astonishing essay in prolix fast music, and the final chaconne is shattering. It demonstrates an astonishing knowledge of string writing from a composer who never played a string instrument, yet whose imagination could take him anywhere. I remain stunned by its authority and risk-taking.


    So having praised the repertoire, can I recommend this release without qualification? Alas the answer is no, even though Kashkashian’s playing is immaculate and impassioned. But please realize that I am a “repertoire-driven” reviewer, and so the following is driving this opinion.


    On Sony 62309 we have the performance of the Ligeti by its dedicatee, Tabea Zimermann, and it’s a doozy. Somehow there’s just more “edge” all around, on every movement. And you also get the two major wind quintet works and an undisputed masterpiece, the Horn Trio. As for the Kurtág, Mode 230 features what seems to be a more complete version of the Signs, Games, and Messages (24 pieces in comparison to 19 from Kashkashian; it claims to be the only integral recording of the entire cycle) performed quite brilliantly by Maurizio Barbetti, and including four other solo viola works. I feel these two releases cover the ground more comprehensively and creatively than the ECM. But if you are viola-centric, and want two great solo masterpieces for the instrument, Kashkashian’s release will not disappoint. It depends on what sort of repertoire you want to cover in your collection and listening.
