György Ligeti: Clear or Cloudy

György Ligeti: Clear or Cloudy (2006) more music like this

performed by Alfons Kontarsky (piano), Aloys Kontarsky (piano), Douglas Boyd (oboe), Ensemble InterContemporain, Gerd Zacher (organ), Gianluca Cascioli (piano), Hagen Quartett, Hakan Hardenberger (trumpet), Jacques Zoon (flute), James Sommerville (horn)
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, ...

Portrait of Susan Graham

Portrait of Susan Graham (2007) more music like this

composed by Alban Berg, Charles Ives, Claude Debussy, George Frederick Handel, Hector Berlioz, Jake Heggie, Johannes Brahms, Moďses Simons, Ned Rorem, Reynaldo Hahn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

This compilation of performances by mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, taken from a number of previously released recordings, demonstrates the breadth of her interests and talents in repertoire that ranges from the Baroque to the twenty-first century, with something from every period in between. Although Graham shows exquisite sensitivity to the variety ...

Ives: Concord Sonata; Songs

Ives: Concord Sonata; Songs (2004) more music like this

performed by Emmanuel Pahud (flute), Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano), Susan Graham (mezzo-soprano), Tabea Zimmermann (viola)
composed by Charles Ives

This selection of 17 Charles Ives' songs are not done too badly here, nor are they the best on record. The faster-tempo songs such as Ann Street, Memories, and 1, 2, 3 are a bit limpid and underpowered in Graham's reading, and it sounds like pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard gets his fingers stuck in the keys here and there. But the softer, slower ...

Ligeti: Works for Piano

Ligeti: Works for Piano (1996) more music like this

performed by Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano)
composed by György Ligeti

Pierre-Laurent Aimard was the first pianist to record Book One of Ligeti's preludes on an Erato release from the early '90s, which also included the first recording of the composer's Trio for horn, violin, and piano. The preludes were so dazzling and Aimard's playing was so dazzling that it was astonishing when the composer went on to write an ...

Ligeti: Continuum; Volumina

Ligeti: Continuum; Volumina (1997) more music like this

performed by Elisabeth Chojnacka (harpsichord), Irina Kataeva (piano), Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano), Zsigmond Szathmáry (organ)
composed by György Ligeti

Representing virtually all phases of György Ligeti's mercurial career, the keyboard works on this disc make a fitting résumé. While a number of the pieces here reflect his avant-garde innovations -- chiefly Continuum and Volumina -- others are more accessible and appealing. The Five Pieces for piano four hands (1942-1950) are stylistically similar ...

Debussy: Images; Études (2001) more music like this

performed by Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano)
composed by Claude Debussy

Audiences recognize Pierre-Laurent Aimard for his expertise in twentieth century music, so it's no surprise to find him recording the music of Debussy. The composers he usually plays (e.g., Messiaen, Bartók, Ligeti) wrote more percussively for the piano than Debussy did, which perhaps explains why Aimard's Debussy isn't as smooth and soft as it ...

performed by Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano), Pierre-Laurent Aimard (speech/speaker/speaking part)
composed by Elliott Carter, Maurice Ravel, Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Nocturnal in character, intensely virtuosic, and nearly equal in duration, Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit (1908) and Elliott Carter's Night Fantasies (1980) make a fascinating pair for this 2005 release from Warner; their similarities and differences are striking and thought-provoking. Ravel's dazzling fantasies on the spectral prose poems by Aloysius ...

George Benjamin: Shadowlines; Viola, Viola; Three Studies; Piano Sonata (2004) more music like this

performed by Antoine Tamestit (viola), George Benjamin (piano), Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano), Tabea Zimmermann (viola)
composed by George Benjamin

To avoid the staid patterns of homophonic music, which he felt hindered his development of a fluid atonal style, George Benjamin has devised techniques that place independent voices in striking linear relationships, almost wholly divorced from notions of harmonic movement. The work that best represents Benjamin's advanced theories is Shadowlines ...

composed by Antonin Dvorák, Antonio Vivaldi, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, William Walton, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Three discs of Chamber Orchestra of Europe performances devoted to work with conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt may seem excessive until one considers that their long association goes a long way toward explaining why the orchestra has a 25th anniversary to celebrate in the first place. The youthful players of the COE were ideal partners for the ...
