蜜芽传媒

Kate Molleson and Gillian Moore present 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3's series exploring the pivotal 'modern' musical works of the 20th century, the groundbreaking composers who created them, and the radical cultural and artistic movements which gave rise to them. In this episode, Kate explores the intense, short-form musical shadows created by Gy枚rgy Kurt谩g, leading to full performance of his setting of Samuel Beckett鈥檚 What is the Word 鈥� a work in which language itself is broken down into tiny parts. On the way, we鈥檒l find out what B茅la Bart贸k referred to as his 鈥渕other tongue鈥�, explore the tragedy inherent in the works of L谩szl贸 Vidovszky, and discover a Hungarian visual artist whose paintings often feature tombstone motifs, a mirroring of the frequent musical memorials Kurt谩g himself makes for lost friends and colleagues.
