Reviews

'Waley-Cohen's devotion to her cause is palpable, and her interpretative flair likewise' (The Sunday Times)» More
‘In memoriam Tamás Blum’ (1995) is an adaptation, of a piano piece remembering a friend who, forty years before, conducted the first performance of the composer’s Viola Concerto. Often Kurtág’s memorials are written in despite of death; this is one of his fiercest and most touching.
