Music Matters

As György Kurtág turns 90, Tom Service presents a portrait of the Hungarian composer, with contributions from the violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Bálint András Varga, whose published interviews with Kurtág have revealed much about Kurtág's life and music, and Manfred Eicher, the founder of ECM Records who has produced many recordings with the composer.
