Music about a gruesome past and an uncertain future

The idiosyncratic Patricia Kopatchinskaja is known not only for the raw intensity of her violin, but also for the refined sophistication of her delicate programmes. Around Hartmann's Concerto funebre – an expression of his aversion to the Nazi regime – she weaves works by de Machaut, Bach, Zorn and vocal improvisations to the Jewish and Bolshevik songs that Hartmann quotes. In her own words this is ‘music made from the blood and tears of tormented souls’.
