Award-winner of the Global Project Grant 2021 – Classical music, Cathy Krier is to release the integral recording of Ligeti’s Études pour piano, on August 27th under CAvi-music.

These Etudes were composed between 1986 and 2001 and are inspired by a wide variety of sources such as African and jazz music. Each Etude deals with a source of inspiration linked to Ligeti.

“Immersing oneself in the Ligeti universe is an invitation to travel, tackling a thousand different facets that allow the performer himself to grow in his field of knowledge, not only musically“  comments Cathy Krier.
