Ligeti, Kubrick et la musique de film

From the hypnotic “2001: a Space Odyssey” to the bold “Eyes Wide Shut” and the eerie “The Shining,” Stanley Kubrick’s films give a prominent place to the music of the great Hungarian composer György Ligeti. Several works by the composer are in fact present throughout the director’s cinematography. The McGill Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Alexis Hauser, performs representative pieces of these three iconic films.
