Album Notes & Community Reviews
This renowned collection performed by the Ensemble InterContemporain under Pierre Boulez captures the radical structural evolution of the avant-garde composer. Navigating heavily clustered micropolyphony in the Cello Concerto towards incredibly dense, rhythmically complex fractals in the later Piano Concerto, the recordings brilliantly document Ligeti's mid-to-late career innovations.
