- Summary:
- BIS presents a chronological exploration of the music of Gyorgy Ligeti. The exploration begins with a brief piece for solo piano written when he was studying in Budapest and ends with his final compositions, also for solo piano. The disc highlights a number of works which demonstrate the kaleidoscopic qualities of the composer - from the sense of humour displayed in the Six Bagatelles to the otherworldliness of Lux Aeterna (used by Stanley Kubrick in his film 2001 - A Space Odyssey), and the sheer mass of Volumina for organ. The disc brings together some seminal Ligeti works in interpretations that were highly praised when originally released.
