Kim Kashkashian has been one of the leading figures in contemporary music for years. Her interpretations of the solo works of the important Hungarian composers Kurtág and Ligeti are both bold and finely nuanced, and are considered milestones. Kurtág's 1989 collection "Signs, Games and Messages" and Ligeti's Viola Sonata, composed between 1991 and 1994, are among the most demanding works. Kashkashian meets the diverse challenges of these pieces with bravura, while simultaneously revealing the connections between the composers. With great sensitivity, she consistently penetrates to the essence of the music and brings its secrets to light.
