Works by Czernowin, Haydn and Bartók
There are quite a few piano, violin and also flute concertos. Only the cello was forgotten until Haydn established it as a solo instrument. "Lively, intuitive, wild and as undefined as pure experience - can music be that? I've heard music like that - rarely, but it changed my life. Working towards it is a difficult balancing act: you have to be as sensitive-sensed as if you had no skin-while wielding the analytical clarity, precision and concentration of a surgeon with a scalpel," says Chaya Czernowin of her journey as a composer. Bartók wrote his "Concerto for Orchestra" in 1944 in American exile, lonely, terminally ill and poor - yet the work became a celebration.
