Holliger is a great musician who continues to attract worldwide attention. The first piece, Racine, is by a Swiss composer whose works Holliger has been focusing on in recent years. The first piece, "Twilight," was composed on New Year's Eve 1991 in a park near the Imperial Palace, and is based on five haiku written by Holliger himself in anticipation of the death of his former teacher and composer Veresh, who had defected from Hungary to Switzerland. The following piece, "Lament to the Memory of Bartók," was written by Veresh. It was written in the midst of the shock of the death of Bartók, who had been his teacher in Hungary until Veresh's exile to Switzerland. The final piece is Bartók's "Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta. This was commissioned by the Swiss conductor Sacher, who was also closely associated with Holliger. This will be a one-of-a-kind concert with a deeply autobiographical element, weaving together works by 20th and 21st century composers who have been a part of his life.
