Description
Eotvos investigates the possibilities afforded by various languages and the human voice
While documenting the unusually intimate relation of language and music, the material of this CD shows another characteristic feature of Eötvös: the constant inclination to experiment, to search for new solutions, new instruments from piece to piece. Just as the individual pieces use different languages, so changes the method of creating the music that is to be extracted from the text. With his opera entitled Three Sisters, Péter Eötvös won several international prizes, among them the Diapason d'or de l'année (France), the ECHO Preis (Germany), the Prix Caecilia (Belgium). The piece on this vocal album, to which he has given the title Two Monologues, intertwines two original parts from the Three Sisters opera, the arias of Tuzenbach and Andrei. The four additonal pieces on the album offer a comprehensive historical survey of those works of Péter Eötvös that investigate the possibilities afforded by various languages and the human voice.
