Richart's bio-bibliography is a most welcome addition to the
literature. For the first time, Richart has made available a
comprehensive bibliography, discography, and up-to-date worklist.
Ligeti's writings, writings about Ligeti, and reviews and analyses
of his works, mainly after his 1956 flight from Hungary to the
West, are listed and annotated. . . . Richart's short, concise
biography is informative and well written. . . . Highly recommended
for public, college, and university libraries with music
collections. Choice Gyorgy Ligeti is one of the most significant of
contemporary composers. Most often described as innovative, he has
been able to combine beauty and emotional meaning with that
innovation. This bio-bibliography describes rather than evaluates
the considerable body of writings by and about Ligeti. The book is
divided into four sections: biography, worklist, discography, and
bibliography. The biography is a brief survey designed to acquaint
the reader, if necessary, with the basic and widely available facts
of Ligeti's life. The bibliography is divided into two parts:
writings by Ligeti and writings about him. The largest section in
the latter part consists of concert and record reviews. Cross
references link all items dealing with each individual music work.
An appendix lists, in chronological order, all of the concerts
devoted entirely to works by Ligeti. Writings listed in the
bibliography are dated from the 1940s onward. The bulk of the
material was written after Ligeti's flight to the west in 1956.
This first book-length work on Gyorgy Ligeti will be welcomed by
music scholars.
