Benjamin Appl recorded songs by Schubert, Brahms, and Kurtág on his album Lines of Life, released in 2025. On the album, the composers and their works are closely intertwined in the truest sense. Listeners will not only marvel at how Kurtág's music keeps the world of 19th-century German songs alive in various ways, but will also notice that at times Schubert or Brahms seem to continue or develop phrases, motifs, or ideas from Kurtág.

A klasszikus zenészek is nevetnek néha – általában a brácsásvicceken. Pedig a brácsa komoly hangszer, mindent tud, amit egy vonósnak kell: énekel, sír, nevetgél és búg. A brácsások tényleg a legjobb fejek a zenekarban, ezen az előadáson pedig megmutatják, mekkorát tévednek, akik leírják a zenekar rút kiskacsáját.

The Big Fish quartet is the result of a collaboration between the ethereal trio Dancing Birds (Julien Soro, Gabriel Midon, Ariel Tessier) and alto saxophonist Léa Ciechelski; a journey into the imagination of water and air. Originally founded to celebrate the music of the great jazz composers and musicians of the 20th century, such as Paul Motian, Ornette Coleman, and Chris Lightcap, the group quickly took a more personal and original direction: each member adds their compositional touch to create music of depth and lightness.

A barokk hegedűs, Maya Homburger és zeneszerző-nagybőgős férje, Barry Guy különleges, zenetörténeti korszakokat és stílusokat átívelő koncertjein rendszeresen szólaltatnak meg Kurtág-kompozíciókat.

As in Anton Webern's work, the short piece, short movement, or musical miniature in György Kurtág's oeuvre is not the result of any form of reduction. It is well known that, for neither composer, brevity refers to the duration of musical processes, but rather to the density of musical communication. The large-scale cycles composed of these dense communications – from The Sayings of Péter Bornemisza to Kafka Fragments and beyond – are particularly characteristic of Kurtág's output.
