PREVIEW MOVIE



PLAYLIST

Henri Dutilleux
3 Strophes on the name of Paul Sacher

György Kurtag
Kafka-Fragmente op.24


Like so many of his works, the songcycle György Kurtág created from settings of tiny extracts
from Franz Kafka's letters and diaries adds up to far more than the sum of its minuscule parts.
Scored for just soprano and violin, the 40 numbers that make up Kafka Fragments range from
just a few seconds in length to several minutes, and the whole cycle lasts a bit over an hour, its
formal planning and emotional plotting fastidiously exact, with nothing wasted.

The programme begins with a choreographed version of Dutilleux's Three Strophes on the name
of Paul Sacher.
