Susan Narucki. Donald Berman. Curtis Macomber. Nicholas Toll - The Edge Of Silence: Works For Voice By Gyo 308rgy Kurta 301

The Edge of Silence finds American soprano and contemporary music specialist Susan Narucki firmly in her element performing iconoclastic vocal works by Hungarian composer Gyorgy Kurtag.

American soprano and Latin Grammy-nominee Susan Narucki, one of today's most committed advocates of the music of our time, has a deep and lasting working relationship with Hungarian composer Gyorgy Kurtag which dates back to 1986. Susan's luminous tone and distinctive artistry and Kurtag's idiosyncratic fusion of poetry and music come together in this quintessential recorded collection of some of the composer's most iconoclastic vocal works. In Susan's words, I have spent much of my life immersed in this repertoire, and it has become essential to the way I understand music; it is the heart of my practice as a musician. Equally appreciative, Kurtag acknowledges Susan, who sang so warmly, purely, so 'integer' these songs � with thanks and love.
