Gyorgy Ligeti : a Bio-Discography / by Robert W. Richart
Another one of my reprint-on-demand titles from the 1994 era. This was a partial reprint from a full monograph originally published in 1990 and written by my friend and librarian colleague Bob Richart. I watched him at close range when he went through the ordeal of compiling this work.
Ligeti is best known to American audiences via Stanley Kubrick. He used the composer's works in the soundtracks of both 2001 a Space Odyssey and The Shining.
Bob Richart is someone I've known since Pullman days and he has taught me a lot about how to listen to music. He also is a very funny, creative man and has been a great supporter of my comix work through the years.
