5.0 out of 5 stars Stupendous, 27 Jul 2008
I can't think of many piano recordings with as much energy, clarity or virtuosity as this one. Each etude sounds beautiful (enormous challenges aside). This music deserves to be better known. The Musica Ricecarta is a much earlier work but sounds good coupled with these etudes.

In some ways there IS an absense of passion here, the music doesn't sound particularly dangerous but the superb energy makes these pieces sound so breathtaking, so celebratory that I don't mind at all. Rather it will be nice when another pianist as good as Pierre-Lauren Aimard records this repertoire so that we can compare the two.

If you haven't heard Ligeti before be prepared for cross rhythms, African rhythms, violence alla The Rite of Spring, tenderness but above all fabulous EXUBERANCE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Recording of Ligeti Etudes?, 10 Nov 2007
By Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Aimard plays these mesmerizing and facinating works with amazing dexterity and sensitivity after the French Impressionist Style which reminds me of Debussy's 12 Etudes. I've read somewhere Ligeti himself praised his interpretation and think this is a fine 5 star performance in its own right.

However, I would prefer a pianist with more dare-devil approach of Horowitz or more risk-taking, uncompromising pianism of Richter. For me personally this sort of piano music should be played with much wider dynamic range and more aggression, whether the composer approves it or not. Aimard's playing is a bit too immaculate and mannered to my taste. But as there is no such recording of Ligeti Etudes right now, this one may be still the finest choice available, or you better wait for other pianists to come. Mr.Hamelin, would you care to record them?
