Lecture/Recitals . Jan Michiels

The complete 'Études pour piano' (Livres I, II, III) by György Ligeti, played and discussed by Jan Michiels. He has studied these études for more than twenty years, plays them regularly at concerts and has recorded a CD of books 1 and 2. This lecture-recital is on the one hand a sequel to the concert with the Prometheus Ensemble on Wednesday 1st April 2009, in which Jan Michiels plays Ligeti's Piano Concerto. On the other hand it is a stepping-stone to the marathon concert, wholly dedicated to Ligeti, by Ictus, the Kryptos Kwartet and the prize winners of the Muziekkapel Koningin Elisabeth, on Saturday 16th May 2009.
