Author:
Not just a fall-back for those unable to afford Sony’s ongoing Ligeti Edition. These recordings tell us much about building a performance tradition for some radical and increasingly influential post-war repertoire. Playing is occasionally rough but always committed, notably in the chamber pieces, which can withstand comparison with more recent recordings. The digital recordings of Musica ricercata and the early piano works are marginally more spontaneous than their Sony counterparts. Sound is variable, reflecting the broadcast origin of many of the performances, but rarely detrimental. The backroom voices near the close of Atmospheres are now almost decipherable!Richard Whitehouse
