Free Music Notes for Ligeti: Complete Piano Music
Free Music Review: The perfect compliment to Aimard's set
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this set wanting to hear another pianist's take on Ligeti's etudes. These works are so difficult only a handful of pianists have ever played more than one or two of them, and to the best of my knowledge, Fredrik Ullen is the only pianist to record all three books. Well, anyone who enjoys Aimard's interpretations will love Fredrik Ullen's just as well. As the other reviewer mentioned, he does take some of them at slightly slower tempos. This is particularly noticeable in "White On White" - the treacherous section about two minutes in sounds completely different here.
In addition to the etudes, you get fine renditions of all the rest of Ligeti's piano music, including several world premieres: "L'Arrache-Coeur" (originally intended as Etude No. 11), and the Chromatische Phantasie, are the most substantial new works included.
