Haiku

HuffPost Arts' Haiku Reviews is a monthly feature where invited critics review exhibitions and performances in short form. Some will be in the traditional Haiku form of 5x7x5 syllables, others might be a sonnet and others might be more free-form. This month, George Heymont, Laurence Vittes and Peter Frank give their quick takes on music, as well as performing and visual art.

Is there a show or performance that you think people should know about? Write your own "haiku" with a link and shine a light on something you think is noteworthy too.

Bach Crossings: Transcriptions for Piano 4 Hands by György Kurtag, F.X. Gleichauf and Max Reger
Duo Stephanie and Saar (Stephanie Ho and Saar Ahuvia)_
New Focus Recordings CD

Bach Crossings, a first release for DUO Stephanie and Saar on New Focus Recordings, is a crossing of paths, crossing of minds and inspirations. The music of Johann Sebastian Bach is recast and given new light by one of the most creative living composers of our time, György Kurtág, and one who is obsessed with Bach. As is fashionable these days, the release event for Bach Crossings took place at Le Poisson Rouge on March 11. In addition to being drop dead gorgeous if totally anachronistic, these performances and arrangements explain what "voicing" is in Bach (i.e., how to hear the voice with the melody among all the other notes), setting off the high radiant in Bach. Here is voicing in practice rather than just in theory: the sound is both modern and grand, strange yet familiar, just the thing for jaded Bachians. At the end the Duo throw in two Kurtag arrangements of Frescobaldi at his most delectable.
