Fourth in the Ligeti Project series, this remarkable disc includes works from various phases of Ligeti's career: the earliest, his Requiem, dating from the early '60s, and the later Hamburg Concerto, completed in 2002.

Reinbert de Leeuw, who's featured on three of the releases, on two as conductor and one as pianist, is one of the foremost Messiaen interpreters to emerge in the late twentieth century. ...
