composed by György Ligeti

Deutsche Grammophon's budget-priced, four-CD collection of all the works by György Ligeti in its catalog has many things to commend it, beginning with the title. Clear or Cloudy is a profoundly astute description of the composer's career, encompassing both the great sound clouds of his micropolyphonic work of the 1960s, such as Atmosphčres, ...

Mozart the Mason (2006) more music like this

performed by Douglas McNabney (viola), Jonathan Crow (violin), Matt Haimovitz (cello)
composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The concept of this disc makes less and less sense the more you think about it, but that doesn't stop it from being a very nicely played program of Mozart chamber music. Mozart was indeed a Freemason, and he wrote music, including The Magic Flute, that was directly related to Masonic ideas and rituals. Two works are included on this album; one, ...

After Reading Shakespeare more music like this

performed by Matt Haimovitz (cello)
composed by Lewis Spratlan, Ned Rorem, Paul Moravec

Matt Haimovitz has devoted a large part of his distinguished career to playing and promoting the music of his time, often by young composers. On this disc, he turns to music by three older American composers, all of whom have won the Pulitzer Prize. Two of the pieces are based on literary texts. Ned Rorem's After Reading Shakespeare (1980) is a ...

Odd Couple (2008) more music like this

performed by Geoffrey Burleson (piano), Matt Haimovitz (cello)
composed by Augusta Read Thomas, David Sanford, Elliott Carter, Samuel Barber

This album of works for cello and piano by Matt Haimovitz and Geoffrey Burleson is clever in every conceivable way. The title itself, Odd Couple, plays on the fact that the cello and piano are really a mismatched pair when you think about it, and fits perfectly Haimovitz's long-time mission to popularize classical music. The program itself borders ...

Bach: Goldberg Variations (2008) more music like this

performed by Douglas McNabney (viola), Jonathan Crow (violin), Matt Haimovitz (cello)
composed by Johann Sebastian Bach

The now infamous story of how J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations received their name -- that Bach was asked to write them as a sleep aide of sorts for Count Kaiserling, whose assistant (Goldberg) would play music to help the Count fall asleep -- has been found to be a somewhat unlikely and dubious account. Still, with few competing explanations, this ...
