Ensemble Intercontemporain, Pierre Bleuse
The Ensemble Intercontemporain and its new music director Pierre Bleuse pay homage to Gyorgy Ligeti, whose centenary we celebrated in 2023: 'Ligeti is one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century and certainly one of those who first made a powerful aesthetic impact on me personally!... This recording, which combines concertos and chamber music, highlights the EIC's qualities as soloists and chamber musicians. And I'm not forgetting that Ligeti is an integral part of the repertoire of the Ensemble, which has performed his works extensively... So this is an ideal way of beginning my own story with the EIC', says Pierre Bleuse, who brings his personal conception to these works and seeks to approach each score like 'a virgin forest'. A noteworthy feature here is the new cadenza composed by Philippe Maunoury for the Violin Concerto, with Hae-Sun Kang as soloist. Renaud Dejardin (cello) and Dimitri Vassilakis (piano) perform the other concertos of this tribute programme.
György Ligeti (1923-2006)
Ligeti: Concerto pour violon et orchestre
Ligeti: Concerto pour piano et orchestre
Ligeti: Kammerkonzert pour treize instrumentistes
Ligeti: Capriccio n° 1
Ligeti: Capriccio n° 2
Ligeti: Fünf Stücke pour piano à quatre mains
Ligeti: Sonate pour alto
Ligeti: Trio pour violon, cor et piano
Bleuse draws playing of greater spontaneity if only slightly less precision than Pierre Boulez in that previous EIC recording of the Chamber Concerto...this is a persuasive means for getting to know a representative crosssection of pieces by one of the most influential composers from the later 20th century
