Around György Ligeti: Romanian contemporary music – ethos and vigurosity

The program of the Ensemble Couleurs from Klausenburg / Cluj-Napoca, Romania was created to commemorate György Ligeti's 100th birthday. The concept is conceived in the form of a ritornello: the pianist of the ensemble plays a selection of Ligeti's "Musica Ricercata", which frames as refrains eight works by contemporary Romanian composers, as interludes or as direct comments to the miniatures of Ligeti.
