Messiaen – Shutz – Kurtag: Visions de l’Amen
Diversissimo è il brano che precede le visioni e che apre il CD. La trascrizione di “Sieben Worte” (Le sette parole) di Gyogy Kurtag dall’opera vocale di Heinrich Schutz (1585-1672), un opera per piano a quattro mani, è austera e leggiadra allo stesso tempo. A suo modo una visione, seicentesca, ma qui trasfigurata egregiamente da Kurtag, che dona alle quattro mani un’anima vocale capace di trasfigurare tempo e spazio.
La storia che racchiude le due opere mescola, tutt’altro che bizzarramente, biografie che La Storia ha messo a duro confronto. Ungherese di famiglia ebrea, un tempo allievo di Messiaen, cattolico, francese, Kurtag si avvicina al suo maestro con uno spirito pieno di umana comprensione. Una visione e un amen a suo modo.
