In 1890 The Kreutzersonata by Leo Tolstoi was first published and soon the unsettling story became one of the most controversial texts in world literature. Nikolaus Büchel has turned Tolstois profound psychodrama of a shattered marriage into a dense monodram subtly commented by a a violin. Kreutzersonata in English language is a project on behalf of Ludwig van Beethovens 250 birthday in 2020, supported by BTHVN2020.
