Digital Booklet

"... Kashkashian’s playing is immaculate and impassioned ... if you are viola-centric and want two great solo masterpieces for the instrument, (this) will not disappoint."
- Fanfare
"... wisps, fragments, gestures, aphorisms: it's impossible to pin down the 19 tiny pieces that make up Kurtág's Signs, Games And Messages. ... they explore the sounds a single instrument can make ... many are touching memorial pieces ... one is a homage to John Cage; each is full of piercing imagination. They are perfectly projected by Kashkashian ..."
- The Guardian
"... Kashkashian's deep sympathy and understanding of the Kurtág's oeuvre comes in. Her sublime approach to the demanding and unconventional harmonic and rhythmic changes make the score a living, evolving being ... Kashkashian has delivered, once more, a resplendent record that not only explores the instrument's range and versatility but also introduces two ambitious yet surprisingly accessible gems."
- All About Jazz
Violist Kim Kashkashian has long been one of the most outstanding protagonists of modern composition, exemplified on this account of solo music, at times both both and subtle, by great Hungarian composers Kurtág and Ligeti. Kashkashian admirably rises to the very different challenges of these works as she points towards the qualities that unite these composers who were great friends for 60 years. As ever, she gets to the heart of the music, unravelling its secrets.
