Description
The six-movement horn concerto is a genuine late work in which Ligeti ventures further forward than ever before in his extensive search for a new tonal language. Simultaneously, he pays reverence to his adopted city: ‘The ”ZEIT“ foundation which commissioned the work had the special wish that the World Première should take place in Hamburg and the movement titles also be associated with the city. I thought to myself: Bach dedicated his wellknown six Concerti grossi to the Margrave of Brandenburg – why should I not dedicate my horn concerto to the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg?’ (György Ligeti)
