Private Passions

on BBC Radio 3

Veteran Hungarian composer Gyorgy Ligeti is Michael Berkeley's guest. This month he returns to London's South
Bank for the second part of Clocks and Clouds, a three-year retrospective of his work. Persecuted by the Nazis as a young man, Ligeti came to international prominence in the 1960s with works such as Apparitions and Lux Aeterna (memorably used in the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: a Space Odyssey). His musical private passions provide a fascinating insight into the mind of one of Europe's greatest contemporary composers. Executive producer Wendy Thompson
