Introduction
By György Ligeti
Jean-Luc Fafchamps, Jean-Luc Plouvier pianos, Jean-Luc Plouvier narration
Popularised by Stanley Kubrick in his film "2001: A Space Odyssee", György Ligeti is a major composer of the 20th century. In these three virtuoso pieces for two pianos, the composer triggers a formidable array of precision machinery and rhythmical mechanisms that enthral as they reveal a world of fantastic images.
