Adam Kondor: Ildikó Vékony (2009)
Adam Kondor’s memorial to his ex-wife who died in a fall while rock climbing. The performance is a mashup of found sounds/field recordings and his wife performing his Six Sonate for Cimbalom Solo
“Ildikó was one of the world’s premiere cimbalom players (in Adam’s own words “She was the best cimbalom player in Hungary, and for classical music probably the best all over the world – not many people play Bach on cimbalom”), and a composer in her own right. She’s featured on all kinds of major recordings, and had worked with everyone from Kurtag to Ligeti to Eötvös (in fact she was soloist just last January in NYC at Zankel Hall, in a concert led by Eötvös)” http://bit.ly/6rMCcq
