Gyorgy Ligeti
Kammerkonzert / Ramifications / Lux Aeterna / Atmosphères
*2022 stock* These pieces (mostly recorded within a couple years of Ligeti writing them) are superb in that unsettling way of most of Ligeti's music. The "Kammerkonzert" is amazing - one of the best things I've heard of his. It's great to hear the harpsichord and Hammond organ in this context and unique in modern music. The uniqueness is really just Ligeti's style and the instruments don't matter so much, whether it's the giant orchestra used for "Atmospheres" or the choral effects in the most famous piece here "Lux aeterna" - it's all Ligeti and it's all instantly recognizable and all good. All great even.
