about

PAULINE OLIVEROS / GYÖRGY LIGETI
Musica Nuvolosa
Performed by ENSEMBLE 0

After its reading of Julius Eastman's Feminine, released in 2021, the Ensemble 0 revisit the repertoires of Pauline Oliveros and György Ligeti from another angle.
From the works of Oliveros, they exhumed a deeply meditative piece for accordion and voice, giving it a new life in the form of vaporous, cloud-riding chamber music.
With Ligeti, the piano radicalism of the Musica Ricercata miniatures crops up again in a new and as yet unreleased orchestration.

Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016)
Pauline Oliveros was an American composer, accordionist and a central figure in the development of post-war experimental and electronic music.

György Ligeti (1923-2006)
György Ligeti was a Hungarian-Austrian composer of contemporary classical music. He has been described as 'one of the most important avant-garde composers in the latter half of the twentieth century' and 'one of the most innovative and influential among progressive figures of his time'.

Absolutely love this recording. I listen to it at work. I listen to it in the car on the way home from work. I listen to it while falling asleep. Curtis’ cello is so amazing. Just got the vinyl in the mail from Discogs the other day! Can’t wait to play on my hi-fi system! Dave Sewall
