GYÖRGY LIGETI
Violin Concerto. Concert Românesc. Piano Concerto (with KURTÁG: Aus der Ferne III & V for string quartet)
Isabelle Faust, Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, Les Siècles, François-Xavier Roth
The poetics of space and the art of time, high-precision mechanism, rhythmic exhilaration . . . Ligeti’s music defies criteria and codes. This recording provides an opportunity to assess the evolution of the musical language of one of the twentieth century’s greatest composers, from the early Concert Românesc to the later concertos for piano and violin, performed here by two fabulous virtuosi.
