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.

‘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, on Vol.4
