5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive Ligeti piano recording, May 7, 2002

This review is from: Ligeti: Piano Works (Audio CD)

A Hot release. Ligeti is now a well acknowledged composer. Just listen to his works to be spellbound. His most famous are maybe the soundtracks for 2001: A Space Odyssey and the one for Eyes Wide Shut (featured in this CD as Musica Ricercata no.2)
His music is captivating and the beautiful Chung, who has racked up top reviews from all leading music magazines in the world, has no rivals in all fields. Compare her beautiful, elegant and at once exhilarating playing to other recordings by Aimard (until now the only reliable account) or others and you will definitely find this exceptional disc superior. Great sound quality for definition and spaciousness and an encouraging essay by Danilo Prefumo on the works. Chung has proved herself extensively on the concert platform and in the recording studio (Mendelssohn Concerti is a favourite recording of mine), and this new Ligeti album shows her versatility, impeccable technique and an artistry that has no equals.
