Typically impassioned, committed performances distinguish Kim Kashkashian's New Series recording of music for viola by three great Hungarian composers. Kashkashian's intense focus, superb craftsmanship and explosive virtuosity are brought to bear on Bartók's final work, on one of Kurtág's early pieces, and on "Replica", an important new composition written especially for her by Peter Eötvös.
