Kurtág speaks

A perusal score of Kurtág's Petite musique solonnelle en hommage à Pierre Boulez 90, just premiered in Lucerne, can be seen on the Editio Musica Budapest website. The musical world is eagerly awaiting word of Kurtág's Endgame opera, which has been announced several times for the Salzburg Festival and La Scala and then delayed. At the moment, it appears on the La Scala schedule for November 2016; if it has its première in Salzburg next summer, alongside Thomas Adès's The Exterminating Angel, there will be no more interesting place.
