Our Take

Swiss oboist extraordinaire Hein Holliger teams up with Hungarian composer Gyorgy Kurtag in "Zwiegesprache," a hauntingly beautiful conversation between two musical titans.

Opening track "In Nomine – all'ongherese" sets the tone, with Holliger's oboe singing a melancholic melody that intertwines seamlessly with Kurtag's sparse, dissonant piano accompaniment. It's like a delicate dance between two old friends, each one taking turns leading and following in perfect harmony.

The album's highlights include the ethereal "Mozayik," where Holliger's oboe seems to float effortlessly above Kurtag's intricate piano textures, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that is both mesmerizing and unsettling.

Elsewhere, "Sonatina" showcases Holliger's technical prowess as he navigates through Kurtag's complex musical language with grace and precision. The result is a captivating musical dialogue that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

In conclusion, "Zwiegesprache" is a masterful collaboration between two musical visionaries, showcasing their unparalleled creativity and technical skill. It's a must-listen for any fan of contemporary classical music, and a testament to the enduring power of artistic collaboration.
