Sony, 1997

share Ligeti's fascination with mechanical things.
First off, I should inform you that Sony's Ligeti Edition series is being deleted so if you're interested in this stuff, you should pick up the ones you want as soon as you can. Ligeti Edition 5 is a good one. No, it's AWESOME. If you have any interest in "mechanical ...

Tada Takashi, Francois / Wyatt, Robert / Ayers, Kevin Bayle, ...

Sub Rosa, 2006

Copyright
The compiler of this series always makes great efforts to track down the copyright holders. Rather than leave off tracks for which he can't find the holder they are included in the "interests of art and music history". The text with the CD explains this, and invites ...

Gyorgy Ligeti, ASKO Ensemble, ...

Teldec, 2001

A Brilliant Recording of Some of Ligeti's Finest Works
The music of György Ligeti is enjoying much performance success these days as works by the master are appearing more often on the season repertoires of the major orchestra. This superb recording, the first in the excellent survey series of Ligeti's music, opens the ...

The Ligeti Project

Omar Ebrahim, David Geringas, ...

Warner Classics, 2008

Highly recommended box-set
This box should probably be your first choice if you want to get acquainted with the works of Ligeti. The recordings in this box are overseen by Ligeti himself, and they were supposed to be definitive recordings that after his death could show conductors how his music ...

György Ligeti Edition 3: Works for Piano (Etudes, Musica Ricercata) - Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Gyorgy Ligeti, Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Sony, 1997

Perfect Ligeti.
The own György Ligeti was asked about who was the pianist more complete in his piano works; he talked about Pierre-Laurent Aimard, whose a close relation with the XXth Century music is very well known (Boulez, Messiaen, Berg, Schönberg, Carter...) all around the world. ...

This is an amazing disc, one of the best in Sony's monumental Ligeti Edition series. On Sony's Ligeti Edition 4, the _Nonsense Madrigals_ were premiered. These six pieces for six voices, composed in the late-80s/early-90s, are some of the composer's finest ...

Tomita's Fantasy Music
When the Tomita music hit the popular music stores in the early 1970's, synthesizers had been used, for the most part, as substitution for the "real" instruments. Isao Tomita's vibrant, truly musical use of his instrument reversed that erroneous impression for all who ...

Gyorgy Ligeti Edition Vol 8 - Le Grand Macabre

Gyorgy Ligeti, Frode Olsen, ...

Sony, 1999

One of the few contemporary masterworks in opera
I will not bother defending Le Grande Macabre for those dismayed at how it differs from earlier Ligeti; having studied the works from 1943 on, I hear a continuity that others may miss. Know only that the opera was influenced by the visual arts of Bosch, Brueghel and ...
