The Music of 2001: A Space Odyssey (Video)

Just had a check and Ligeti composed all the music used in 2001 (Atmosphères (1961), Lux Aeterna (1966), Requiem (1965) and Aventures (1962)) after he had emigrated to Austria in 1956, so nothing was paid to Hungarian govenment. Simply put Kubrick and the film studio just failed to license the use and alteration of his music. Ligeti sued them, and it was settled out of court.
Wow one of those fables that becomes reality because people repeat it again and again. Ok scrub the bit about the Hungarian Government stealing the royalties. But thowe communist countries did that sort of thI got I read. All four pieces are my favourites of LigetI. Thank you for the correctio.
