György Ligeti

György Ligeti - György Ligeti [5-LP set]

This set is an excellent overview of avant-garde composer György Ligeti's music from just about all periods of his career. This includes pieces for string quartet (Streichquartett Nr. 1, Streichquartett Nr.2), electronic music (Artikulation, Glissandi), organ (Etüden Nr.1, Etüden Nr.2, Volumina), harpsichord (Continuum), chamber music (Kammerkonzert, Ramifications), orchestra (Konzert für Violoncello und Orchester, Lontano, San Francisco Polyphony, Atmosphères) and choral/vocal (Requiem, Aventures, Lux aeterna). I've wanted to post the 2001 soundtrack as an accompaniment to the earlier 2001 post (Arthur C. Clarke reading), but I believe it's been posted several times elsewhere so I hope this is an adequate substitute as at least there is more music by the most fascinating composer on the soundtrack.
