About

Hungarian composer György Kurtág's singular masterpiece, Kafka Fragments, is presented here on CD and on DVD.

The DVD includes a live concert performance of the piece, filmed in Yerevan, Armenia, as well as a filmed “masterclass” held in Budapest, Hungary, with Kurtág coaching the two performers.

The CD contains a complete studio recording of Kafka Fragments, made in the USA. Kafka Fragments is one of Kurtág's most autobiographical works, the score peppered with personal references and messages to well-known musicians and other acquaintances.

This DVD/CD set presents stunning performances alongside a fascinating film of both Tony Arnold and Movses Pogossian working with the composer, striving for maximum expression in a work that presents huge challenges, both musically and intellectually.
