Scenes from a Novel. 15 Songs to poems by R. Dalos

Description

In 1981, shortly after the highly successful Paris premiere of The Messages of the Late R.V. Truszova, Kurtág set out to create its counterpart and opposite, another Russian-language love song cycle based on Rimma Dalos Rimma' poems. Truszova's universal passion and sensuality shrinks into a more closed world, anxiety is replaced by self-reflection. The colorful chamber orchestra of the previous cycle gives way to a "gypsy band", so the accompaniment becomes more homogeneous and contoured. And the humor that often turns into the grotesque also plays an important role.
