Perhaps his most notable, certainly his most famous, piece was Atmospheres from 1960. It is the best known of his micropolyphony/soundscape pieces.

György Ligeti - Piano Concerto, III-V
Piano Concerto (1985-1988) I. Vivace molto ritmico e preciso II. Lento e deserto III. Vivace cantabile IV. Allegro risoluto, molto ritmico V. Presto luminoso Pierre-Laurent Aimard, piano Asko Ensemble Reinbert de Leeuw György Ligeti completed his Piano Concerto in 1988. It is in five movements, twenty-five minutes in duration, and perhaps the finest concerto from the 1980s. In the late 1960s and early 1970s the composer wrote many successful concertos. In these earlier works, Ligeti was writing extremely dense and dissonant works in a style that utilized micropolyphony, a method of writing he created where numerous independent melodic lines become a larger, sonorous mass of sound. Ligeti had acquired enough listeners and imitators to be at the forefront of the avant-garde. Then in the late 1970s he suffered a heart condition that made him incapable of composing for years. When he returned to health in the 1980s the music he was writing was different, in some ways returning to his original love of Bartók which preceded his period of micropolyphony compositions. Ligeti's Piano Concerto is a super-modern piano concerto, featuring all the knowledge and musicality of a brilliant composer who had carefully absorbed the musical lessons and currents of the twentieth century. It eludes serialism but does not shy completely away from the sonorities associated with it. Ligeti and Boulez were good friends, and Boulez often conducted and recorded Ligeti's. It is interesting that <b>...</b>

György Ligeti: Portrait (1993) part 1/7
A documentary film directed by Michel Follin about great atheist composer György Ligeti. (Uploaded with pure educational means) "Hungarian-Jewish origin, Ligeti made his career in Hungary until 1956, when he escaped to Vienna, there to be influenced by contact with more experimental Western techniques of composition, notably with work at the electronic studios in Cologne. His music now achieved a wider international reputation, incorporating contemporary techniques and experiment in a musical idiom that has proved both influential and palatable. Opera Ligetis 1977 opera Le grand macabre, set in a land derived from the paintings of Breughel, is an allusive work, drawing on a variety of sources, from Monteverdi to Beethoven and opening with a motor-horn prelude Orchestral Music It was with compositions such as Apparitions in 1959 and Atmosphres in 1961, the latter a 48-part mirror canon, that Ligeti began to win a wider reputation. Other orchestral works that aroused interest included a Chamber Concerto for thirteen instruments, the Cello Concerto and the Concerto for flute, oboe and strings. Lontano, written in 1967, has a place in contemporary repertoire, with Ramifications, for twelve strings and San Francisco Polyphony. He also wrote concertos for piano, for violin and for French horn. Chamber Music In the second of his string quartets, Ligeti made a strong impression, while his Ten Pieces for wind quintet allow a degree of individual virtuosity to the players. Keyboard <b>...</b>

György Ligeti (1923-2006) - Lontano (1967)
Lontano means Far Away One of my favourite Ligeti's compositions "‚As if one enters a dark room from bright sunlight and gradually takes in the colours and contours. (György Ligeti). In this work it is particularly piano and pianissimo sounds that hover and glide in a suspenseful atmosphere for eleven minutes. All parts are subject to a process of constant change. Ligeti describes the piece as a very complex, very soft structure, with many pianissimo tutti passages, with ramified movements of the parts." To me the fascination of this music is that, as every human experience, no sound comes from nothing, and no sound ends into nothing. All sounds are a continuum.

György Ligeti - Melodien (1/2)
Melodien, for orchestra (1971) Schönberg Ensemble Reinbert de Leeuw To call a piece of music "Melodies" in the context of the experimental milieu in which Ligeti operated in the 1960s and early 1970s was rather an audacious move. Scored for orchestra, Melodien was written in 1971, and first performed in Nuremberg on December 10 of that year. In the preface of the score, Ligeti refers to the three "strata" of the piece: the foreground which features the melodies of the title, the middle layer made up of secondary figures (some of them ostinato-like), and a background consisting of long, sustained tones. Despite its title, the actual music shares many traits with other of Ligeti's works of the time. Dense tone clusters are heard at some points, as are the upward scale-like patterns that are present in so many contemporaneous works of the composer (for example, the solo harpsichord piece Continuum of 1968). Those scales work their way farther and farther up as they interact with the middle and background layers, which become more or less prominent as the piece progresses. [Allmusic.com]
