This album offers a comprehensive journey through György Ligeti’s groundbreaking piano music, performed by Fredrik Ullén. At its core are the Etudes, Books I & II (1985–93), which are among the most influential contributions to the piano repertoire of the late 20th century—works of dazzling virtuosity, intricate polymetrics, and vivid imagination. Complementing these are Ligeti’s early post-war pieces, including the Capriccios and Invention, marked by their Bartókian roots and youthful vigor, as well as the provocative Trois Bagatelles. The recording also features the first-ever release of Ligeti’s Chromatische Phantasie, an intense and rare example of his brief dodecaphonic phase. Fredrik Ullén’s performance highlights the full range of Ligeti’s expressive and technical demands, making this an essential recording for contemporary piano music lovers.
