Overview
This programme, performed by a sensational line-upof artists, includes Bartók’s Contrasts, written in thewake of Hitler’s seizure of power in Austria, and thepulsating Sonata for two pianos and percussion of1937, together with Ligeti’s deliberately provocativeSonata for solo viola and György Kurtág’s poignantpost-modern Hommage à Robert Schumann.
