Overview
Steven Isserlis completes his landmark survey ofBach’s Cello Suites, surrounding three of them withspace for deep absorption in the aphoristic formof pieces from György Kurtág’s Signs, Games andMessages.
Bach stands as one of the strongestand most enduring influences on Kurtág’s highlypersonal, deeply expressive musical language.
