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.

As a compilation, musically speaking, Edition 2 is probably my least favorite of the Sony Ligeti Edition collection. Many of the pieces come from traditional Hungarian sources, conceived while Ligeti was still in his early years. They are pretty, but also pretty ...             Ligeti: Mechanical Music Gyorgy Ligeti, Pierre Charial, ... 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.

Gyorgy Ligeti, Jonathon Nott, ... Teldec, 2002 Stunningly insightful performances of Ligeti's orchestral works György Ligeti's unique place in 20th Century music, while long admired by the cognoscenti, has yet to become a true part of the standard repertoire of our major orchestras.

Naxos, 2007 Start the revolution Even people who like classical music tend to run screaming when they hear names like Penderecki, Ligeti and Cage. But it's hard to blame them.

Teldec, 2003 A great Ligeti disc, including two world premieres This, the third entry in Teldec's Ligeti Project, is sensibly balanced in terms of its coverage of Ligeti's output. Two of the four works are vocal, two are concerti. Two are from his 'clocks and clouds' micropolyphonic phase, two are from his recent postmodern one. ...             György Ligeti: Concertos for Cello / Violin / Piano - Pierre Boulez / Ensemble InterContemporain György Ligeti, Pierre Boulez, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1994 Worth the extreme effort When I first bought this I thought of Ligeti as a distinguished atonal, postmodern composer, but have since discovered that he is much more unique than that description suggests.

Sub Rosa, 2006 Copyright The compiler of this series always makes great efforts to track down the copyright holders.
