4.0 out of 5 stars A rich and satisfying feast of wonderful sounds, textures and rhythms., 7 Dec 2008
By Basiledes (North Wales) - See all my reviews
This is certainly an uncompromisingly avant garde contemporary piece but it's not difficult to enjoy on the level of sound alone because Ligeti simply never lets the invention flag. The listener remains fascinated and engaged even if they are completely baffled about what it all means. Presumably it's all meant to be happening in our subconscious.
It's even beautiful at times where the female voices create areas of stasis after some of the most astounding eruptions that have ever been heard in musical drama.
It's also a fine recording which will enable you to enjoy a really good hi-fi in ways you probably never dreamed of, and equally a tonic for the listener which I imagine to be something like what falling down and speaking in tongues might be for some people.
It's in English although it doesn't say so anywhere on the box or in the booklet even though Ligeti discusses other language versions and translations at length referring to this version as the solution.
