The Ligeti Project I: Melodien / Chamber Concerto / Piano Concerto / Mysteries of the Macabre - Schönberg ...
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 II: Lontano / Atmosphères / Apparitions / San Francisco Polyphony / Concert Românesc - ...
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. With the release of this Ligeti Project that situation will hopefully change! On this CD ...
  
  











  



  
György Ligeti: Clear or Cloudy
William Pearson, Matthew Wilkie, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

A Fine and Affordable Library of the Works of György Ligeti
György Ligeti died in 2006 after a long and productive life as a composer who challenged the creativity of even his most avant-garde colleagues. Teldec produced a magnificent series of CDs, The Ligeti Project, which contain some of the most thrilling performances of ...
  
  











  



  
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. ...
  
  











  



  
Masters of Classical Music (Box Set)
Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Delta, 1990

VALUE VALUE VALUE
I think that this is really one of the best values you're going to find anywhere in the world of classical music, especially for beginners. You're getting 10 CDs, each filled almost to capacity, with the most famous works from the most famous composers in the history ...
  
  











  



  
The Ligeti Project
Omar Ebrahim, David Geringas, ...

Warner Classics, 2008

Together For Less
The skinny: Some of us paid significant sums of money to get these CDs when they were individually wrapped. You can get them now for much less, and in one convenient package. What you won't get are the equally fine 7 CDs that Sony produced under a similar concept ...
  
  











  



  
Instruments of the Orchestra
Various Artists

Naxos, 2002

Very Informative and Enjoyable
Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes ...
  
  











  



  
2001: A Space Odyssey - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1996 Reissue)
Various Artists, Gyorgy Ligeti, ...

Rhino / Wea, 1996

Brings Back the Movie
Torcon 3, the 61st World Science Fiction Convention in Toronto in 2003, asked its members to rate the top science-fiction films of the 20th Century. "2001: A Space Odyssey" came out on top. This CD, which contains snippets of dialog as well as the music from the ...
  
  











  



  
György Ligeti Edition 1: String Quartets and Duets - Arditti String Quartet
Gyorgy Ligeti, David Alberman, ...

Sony, 1997

String works, includes his must-have glorious Second Quartet
Sony's "Gyorgy Ligeti Edition 1: String Quartets and Duos" is the first disc of the 13-volume series--continued after the 8th installment by Teldec's "The Ligeti Project"---of Gyorgy Ligeti's collected works in performances overseen by the composer itself. It collects ...
  
  











  



  
György Ligeti Edition 2: A Cappella Choral Works - London Sinfonietta Voices
Gyorgy Ligeti, Terry Edwards

Sony, 1997

a handful of great Ligeti works.
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 ...
  
  











  



  
The Ligeti Project III: Cello Concerto / Clocks & Clouds / Violin Concerto / Síppal, Dobbal, Nádihegedüvel
Gyorgy Ligeti, Siegfried Palm, ...

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. ...
  
  











  



  
The Ligeti Project IV: Hamburg Concerto (Horn Concerto) / Double Concerto / Ramifications / Requiem
Gyorgy Ligeti, Reinbert de Leeuw, ...

Teldec, 2003

A superb meeting of Ligeti's recent and classic works
The fourth disc of Warner Classics' fresh and exciting Ligeti Project contains the composer's recent "Hamburg Concerto" as well as two other works performed by the Asko/Schoenberg Ensemble. If you're new to Ligeti, this is worth getting because it contains his ...
  
  











  



  
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. He is beyond tonality and atonality, and beyond postmodernism. In his own words: "the ...
  
  











  



  
György Ligeti Edition 6: Keyboard Works (Piano, Harpsichord, Organ) - Irina Kataeva / Pierre-Laurent Aimard / ...
Gyorgy Ligeti, Elisabeth Chojnacka, ...

Sony, 1997

More 'sci-fi' inspired music
This 6th installment of the Gyorgy Ligeti Edition contains one (Harmonies) of Ligeti's three pieces used by Stanley Kubrick in the '2001' soundtrack. For that reason alone, this CD is a bit more interesting than some of the others in this series. To me, as a ...
  
  











  



  
György Ligeti Edition 4: Vocal Works (Madrigals, Mysteries, Aventures, Songs) - The King's Singers / ...
Gyorgy Ligeti, Esa-Pekka Salonen, ...

Sony, 1997

where's the dead weight?
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 ...
