Matthias Pintscher conducts Ligeti, Zimmermann and Martinů

György Ligeti was inspired by the Catholic requiem mass to write one of the great choral works of the 20th century. His Requiem features an enthralling tonal language – performed here with Matthias Pintscher. And both Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s Musique pour les soupers du Roi Ubu and Bohuslav Martinů’s Viola Concerto (soloist: Amihai Grosz) make hidden references to requiem settings by other composers.
