and Austria, which are his special concern. In addition to this general
connection, the works of Kurtág and Schumann reveal astonishing and
fascinating affinities in terms of both literary and musical
references..... --From the CD booklet notes by Hartmut Lückon Kashkashian: '... the best violist in the world.' --New York Daily News
