The Ligeti Project III

0 - Default Title
Description
This is the third of five recordings on the Teldec label completing a project begun by SONY to record Gyrgy Ligetis complete oeuvre. The artists for these works were hand-picked by Ligeti, who took an active part in the recording process. With pipes, drums and fiddles is a world premire recording. The work was composed for the artists who perform it on this CD. The Cello Concerto is dedicated to Siegfried Palm, who premired the work and who performs it here. At a time when classical music is struggling to retain its market share, enthusiasts of Gyrgy Ligeti not to mention Ligeti himself might consider themselves fortunate that a major label remains committed to such a large project. (Gramophone) At an age when most composers are content to rest on their laurels and have settled for working within the musical territory they have already established, Ligeti continues to explore, and to colonise new ground voraciously. If Ligetis music has a trademark, it is unpredictability. Even now he is still questioning, still subjecting what he hears to his own intensely rigorous ysis. He remains one of the severest critics of contemporary music, as well as one of its greatest composers. (Guardian)
