I think that was last year's trend. Now they're more into Ferneyhough, but with a challenge also seen from the Birtwistle camp ...

Some countries issue stamps relevant to the nation's history and culture, others take advantage of themes that might be a good source of revenue. I don't believe any other country has issued a Ligeti stamp other than the one from Suriname, which is part of a "Hungarian Composers" sheet. I'm sure this is true for some of the other composers featured.
