ジェルジ・クルターク
作曲György Kurtág is considered a master of the subtle aphorism. His works feature prominently in the Berliner Philharmoniker’s concerts: On 22 May 1991, members of the orchestra conducted by Zoltán Peskó performed the world premiere of [Grabstein für Stephan] for guitar and instrumental groups distributed around the auditorium. His first major orchestral work [Stele] was commissioned by the Berliner Philharmoniker and is dedicated to Claudio Abbado, who premiered the piece on 14 December 1994 as part of a cycle of works on the theme of antiquity. Many other works by Kurtág followed – compositions in which the whispered, the dying away, and the barely perceptible repeatedly encounter explosive violence.
