Ligeti: The Ligeti Project II

Not everything is standard classical music (emphasize on classical). This is a well sought out version of Ligeti from 1923. Jonathan Nott directs the Berliner Philharmoniker. Great timbral combinations. The whole orchestra becomes one sound, shifting to another one. And yet, Concert Românesc has such lively East European (obviously) melody and rhythm, that is hard to believe it comes in the same Teldec Classics CD. I must remark Atmoshères for its suggestive nature.
I have to make a point here that my "grade" label is more on my own very personal relation to the work, than a (presumably very poor) aesthetic evaluation.
