OLGA NEUWIRTH: Solo

“I know that the arts won’t change anything, but art can point towards what has become ossified and reveal the desolate state of society and politics. I refuse to be yodelled away.” (Olga Neuwirth) – and so she produces continuously changing musical textures, incessantly posing questions, boldly and impetuously combining the most contrasting elements. This album is part of Klangforum Wien’s “Solo” 5-CD series of recordings of pieces for one performer, which is the ensemble’s response to the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic.
