Composer of the Week: Ligeti

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Presented by Stephen Plaistow in conversation with the composer.
"The initial impetus to compose my highly virtuosic piano etudes was, above all, my own inadequate piano technique. And I absolutely love to play piano, but only for myself. The etudes are thus the result of my own inability - the transformation of inadequacy into professionalism." Etudes Nos 7-10 (Book 2)
Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano) Three Fantasies after
Friedrich Holderlin
London Sinfonietta Voices, conductor Terry Edwards Horn Trio
Marie-Luise Neunecker (horn), Saschko Gawriloff (violin),
