Gyorgy Ligeti - Cello Concerto / San Francisco Polyphony Music CD

Ligeti's Cello Concert - particularly when combined, as here, with Lontano - offers a wonderful introduction to the maestro's music, and Siegfried Palm, to whom the work is dedicated, is it's ideal interpreter. Siegfried Palm: violoncello / Sinfonie-Orchester des Hessischen Rundfunks, Frankfurt/Main / Michael Gielen: conductor / Sinfonie-Orchester des Südwestfunks, Baden-Baden / Ernest Bour: conductor / Gunilla von Bahr: flute / Torleif Lännerholm: oboe / Sinfonie-Orchester des Schwedischen Rundfunks / Elgar Howarth: conductor.
