Description
’Always fascinated, like a child, I am glued to the telly, watching the rallyes. Especially Paris-Dakar! Constantly changing scenery, towns – desert – villages – desert – desert – desert, heaps of dust, and above all, the speed! Phantastic energy! Man and machine, man and nature, always the soloist and his team.
My Paris-Dakar soloist races restlessly in the time slot, improvising through unknown sound desert. Wild and fast, his big band team always being with him. But most important of all is the speed!’ (Peter Eötvös, 2000, foreword of the score).
