Rating:  - I like Ligeti
I like the inventiveness of G. Ligeti. The Musica Ricercata Suite is a good and early example of his continuous search for new musical structures.
I'm just a music listener, with no qualification to comment the interpretation of Mr. Aimard.
I'm satisfied.
Rating:  - A nice micro-view of Ligeti's work
In the notes that accompany this CD, Ligeti explains that his piano compositions are the way he made up for his inadequacies as a player. It's hard to argue that he didn't reach his goal. These superbly-performed pieces provide a clear view of many aspects of Ligeti's work--his humor, his lyricism, his ear, and sometimes his little obsessions.
The most obvious technical requirement of this music is touch. In some of the etudes, complex voicings are required at very low dynamic levels. ... Read More
Rating: - Very Nice Piano Studies. Not the best Ligeti
Volume 3 of the Gyorgy Ligeti Edition on Sony has gotten a boatload of very positive reviews, above, from people who probably know a lot more about music, especially piano music, than I do, but I maintain, from my position as a rank amateur who just happens to like listening to a wide range of classical music, that this disc is neither the very best piano music nor the most interesting Ligeti.
Don't get me wrong. I think almost all of the studies on these tracks are good, maybe even almost ... Read More
Rating:  - More of Legeti's babblings
I mean Elliot carter has been unjustly accused of "disjointed UNtonal schemeing music", , and other sharp criticisms, all of which is unfair, as these complaints are comming from the Tchaikovsky fans, who are too stringent in their tastes.
But here Legeti in this solo piano music has yet once again( as in all his music) showes himself stuck in some mode of writing which cannot seem to break away from his Nazi perscution days. Its a mix of self pity, anger, loathing of life, muisc that goes no where. ... Read More
Rating: - 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. He talked too about Volker Banfield, who has recorded some of the Etudes for Wergo, but not so good as Aimard recordings, in my opinion.
What we find in this CD, 3rd of an outstanding series, is the technical perfection made piano ... Read More
