Doom. A Sigh, By Istvan Marta.
This was written for the Kronos Quartet, and recorded for their disc Black Angels.
It incorporates two folk songs recorded by the composer in 1973 when he visited a Hungarian village largely cut off from the outside world.
His visit seems to have resulted a year later in punishment for the villagers who sang for him by the Hungarian government.
It occupies a very uncomfortable space musically, but not one away from which we should always turn.
