I was totally moved by the intensity and musicality of the artists when
they performed my (much too difficult, 42 years old) Streichtrio. I
give my gratitude and compliments to the musicians!

Kurtag Kafka Fragments on The World Books Podcast
Soprano Aliana de la Guardia, who "has yet to disapoint" (Nine Dots Boston) and Violinist Gabriela Diaz who "shone in her extended solo passages, finding a balance between bravura display and self-abnegating cooperation" (The Phoenix) visited the WGBH Studios on the morning of Thursday, February 5 and performed some excerpts from Kurtag's Kafka Fragments for The World Books Podcast's Bill Marx.

The World Books Podcast is co-produced by BBC World Series in London, Public Radio International, & WGBH Boston.
Ms. de la Guardia and Ms. Diaz performed the work in entirety on the evening of February 6, 2009 as a part of the The Ludovico Ensemble's Roman Garnett Concert Series. The virtuosity of the piece and musicality of their performance was praised by audience members. One audience member commented "I wasn't a Kurtág fan before, but I certainly am now."
