Ligeti Six Bagatelles - Quintette a Vent Claude Debussy (2009)
Here's a choice unlike any of my usual classical fayre. I'm a bit of a Ligeti fan and when I was introduced to these bagatelles by a friend many years ago, I just really liked them and have done ever since. They were written between 1951-53, by Ligeti originally for piano. He later transcribed them for wind quintet.
From The Listener's Club: "Ligeti transcribed excerpts from the collection to create the colorfully whimsical Six Bagatelles for Wind Quintet. Each of the movements evokes a distinct atmosphere. Throughout the work, we hear echoes of Hungarian folk music."
I have selected the work I originally heard and still have a copy of on CD, by the Quintette a Vent Claude Debussy. The recording is close mic'd and excellent.
