“It is a rare opportunity for me to prepare a recording in such close cooperation with the performer. Ildikó Szabó and I have rehearsed together several times, moreover, I was present at the recording. The result is a recording with an exceptionally poignant atmosphere, displaying Ildikó Szabó’s superb playing and narration skills.”

György Kurtág
