Gyorgy Kurtag's "Samuel Beckett: What is the Word" op. 30b for alto solo, voices and chamber orchestra (1991) was written for Ildiko Monyok, an singer who lost the ability to speak following a car accident. Only with many years and hard effort did Monyok regain her speech, and Beckett's poem, sung here by her in Hungarian translation, is related to her struggles. The soloist's role is often brutal, harsh exclamations mixed with pathetic begging. The role of the other voices, here the Arnold Schönberg Choir, is to soften the music, quietly reciting lines from the original English text. It's interesting that while Kurtag's music was getting longer at this time--this single-movement piece is 14 minutes long--there is still a sense of a miniature about it because of the very spare nature of his instrumental writing.
