Biography

György Ligeti (1923-2006) was an avant-garde composer of the second half of the twentieth century, who developed a language known as "timbral surface", aimed at creating music that appears static, but is in fact in perpetual motion, like a continuous current with no beginning or end. His Requiem (1965) and his opera Le Grand Macabre (1977) are his most emblematic compositions.
