A favorite recording of a favorite quintet. Remarkable performances from all, but the hornist? Come on.... Once technique reaches this level, the composer's whimsy and pathos really shine. Ensemble Wien-Berlin (Wolfgang Schulz, flute; Hansjörg Schellenberger, oboe; Karl Leister, clarinet; Günter Högner, horn; Milan Turkovic, bassoon). Högner passed away in 2018.
I was surprised by the emotional effect that the 3rd movement had on me upon first listening. It’s a great way to introduce yourself to the mixolydian.

@PW that’s what he said.
Much more melodic and accessible than I remember Ligeti being!
It's an early piece, not in his mature style yet. Owes a lot to Bartok. He more or less disavowed the early music later on.

Sounds like five birds having a discussion... or maybe an argument. Like the way these instruments interact with each other.
The ending of movement 5 is heavenly
Agreed.
Wonderful discovery 👌
They're not from a set of 12 bagatelles but rather 11 musica ricercata for piano
The first movement is almost completely identical to the Sonatina for Piano 4 hands.
First time listening to this, and this is just arrangements from Musica Ricercata! Very well done arrangements, but still, I expected new music
0:00 Musica Ricercata No.3
6:54 Musica Ricercata No.8
The beginning sounds like his Music Ricercata, I believe the third or fourth piece
Yeah, because this is an arrangement of 6 pieces from Musica Ricercata
Ever since we went to Lamont I'm seeing you everywhere.
4:25
wow I never liked ligeti until this
It's a very early piece. Not his matures style yet.
