All five volumes of the Ligeti Project brought together for the first time, at an excellent price. Notes on all five volumes written by Ligeti himself.

“[On vol. 4] In the year of his 80th birthday, these are glorious accounts of great 20th-century works… Ligeti continues to explore and colonise new ground voraciously… if Ligeti’s music has a trademark, it is unpredictability…He remains one of the severest critics of contemporary music, as well as one of its greatest composers” The Guardian
