This 4 disc set is in many way a fine introduction to the works of Ligeti. However, it's probably been bettered as a "buy first"-item by the new only slightly more expensive "Ligeti Project" box, which has better recordings of some of the large works, and also has much better liner notes written by Ligeti himself. However, you MIGHT still consider this box if you want a varied selection of music that includes some chamber music - the "Ligeti Project" box is mainly works for ochestra and choir. The complete chamber music is available seperately in the "Ligeti Edition" series.

After diversions to the middle ages and all sorts of other notated music "periods", I have returned to the undoubted genius of Gyorgy Ligeti courtesy of this Deutsche Grammophon 4-CD boxed set.
Although on DG, this set includes Decca and Philips recordings too. We have the Hagen Quartet from 1990, Lasalle Quartet from 1969, the Vienna Phil under Abbado from 1988, Ensemble Intercontemporain and Boulez from 1982, Pierre-Laurent Aimard from 1992, and loads more good stuff here.
Assembled to commemorate Ligeti's death in 2006, all of these recordings are given good/great performances and all are in good sound quality (very important with Ligeti's music).
Pick up the recently re-released Teldec "Ligeti Edition" and the 7 Sony discs and you will have all you need of Ligeti (except his opera).
It would be churlish not to award 5*, so I have!

I have a couple of other Ligeti discs, but wanted the "2001 music" - Atmospheres. OK, this is a live recording of that work - the rest of the 4 discs is studio, but its a very good live recording, and live 'works' for this exciting music.
I can find no fault with this set - all the music is interesting, highest quality recording and artists, and I got it all new for [...]. Unreservedly, I suggest you treat yourself to this bargain.
