Ligeti Project - Want It All

Ligeti Project

This 5 CD set features works that enchant both the ear and mind. The box features favorites such as Lontano.
Its refined tonal colors make it one of the most elegant pieces in the modernist canon. The Berlin Philharmonic
performs Apparitions, Ligeti s first success in the West after his escape from Hungary during the 1956 Soviet
invasion. Under its colorful faÃ§ade, San Francisco Polyphony demonstrates how uncompromising modern music
can be. Concert romÃ¢nesc, harks back to BartÃ³k s transformations of folk material. Rich in color and vitality, its
four movements are full of the dissonances of village bands and melodies rooted in Romanian folk music.
GyÃ¶rgy SÃ¡ndor Ligeti (1923-2006) was born in Romania to a Hungarian Jewish family and lived in Hungary
before later becoming an Austrian citizen. Many of his works are well known in classical music circles, but to
the general public, he is best known for the various pieces featured in the Stanley Kubrick films 2001: A Spac e
Odyssey, The Shining, and Eyes Wide Shut.
