The Original Jacket Collection: Eugene Ormandy
Mstislav Rostropovich, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, ...

Sony Classics, 2008

EUGENE ORMANDY FINALLY GETS HIS BOX SET!
It's hard to believe that the CD was introduced in 1982 and it has taken 26 years for Eugene Ormandy to have a proper box set released by Sony/BMG of some of his magical Columbia/CBS stereo recordings. How do you choose 10 CDs of Ormandy's Philadelphia Orchestra ...
  
  











  



  
Collector's Edition
Benny Goodman, Bela Bartok, ...

Sony, 1990

My Cup of Tea
Goodman's performances of all the music on this disc are superb. He (along with violinist Joseph Szigeti) commissioned the Bartok score and, notwithstanding its age (mono/1940) there has never been a better recording than this one. The other performances are first-rate ...
  
  











  



  
Bartok: Complete Solo Piano Music
Bela Bartok, György Sándor

Vox (Classical), 2003

Best classical value out there
To put this set in perspective, for months I would go to my local Tower Records fishing for worthwhile classical CDs at least once a week. One of the discs that sat in the bins the longest was a single CD of Bartok piano music, played by Zoltan Kocsis. It was Volume ...
  
  











  



  
Bartok: String Quartets 1-6
Bela Bartok, Belcea Quartet

EMI, 2008

Bartok Quartets
Years ago when I was in college the Bartok String Quartets were a constant on my stereo. I am happy to have this fine recording on CD. I had forgotten how much I enjoy listening to them.
  
  











  



  
György Ligeti Edition 3: Works for Piano (Etudes, Musica Ricercata) - Pierre-Laurent Aimard
Gyorgy Ligeti, Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Sony, 1997

Perfect Ligeti.
The own György Ligeti was asked about who was the pianist more complete in his piano works; he talked about Pierre-Laurent Aimard, whose a close relation with the XXth Century music is very well known (Boulez, Messiaen, Berg, Schönberg, Carter...) all around the world. ...
  
  











  



  
Bartók: Bluebeard's Castle [DVD Video]

Decca, 2008

Blood in the shadows, the soul's secret doors
Bela Bartok's masterful one-act nacht-oper, based on the original Barbe-Bleue story by Charles Perrault (1697), composed between February and September 1911 and finally performed at the Royal Opera House in Budapest 24 May 1918 with a substantially revised finale, was ...
  
  











  



  
Bartok: Violin Concertos, Viola Concerto, 6 Duo for 2 Violins, Violin Rhapsodies; Yehudi Menuhin
Yehudi Menuhin, Bela Bartok, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Beautiful music.....Bartok is my favorite.......
Menuhin with his strongly creative imagination plays these concertos with characteristic nobility of feeling during much of the Hungarian dance-rhythms. There is a comparably earthy, peasant manner in Menuhin's playing of the two Rhapsodies, and it is match by ...
  
  











  



  
The Complete EMI Recordings 1946-1984, Vol. 1: Orchestral [Box Set]
Hans Hotter, Otto Edelmann, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

1 of 2 of the most important boxed sets ever released
Most people considering this set are probably already familiar with Karajan's work and probably already own quite a few of his EMI recordings. Therefore, there really is no need for me to get into depth with regards to the quality of the conductor's work or the ...

Before commenting on the contents of the latest installment of chamber music from the Lugano Festival in Switzerland, here's the detailed playlist: Bartók: Violin Sonata No. 1, Sz 75 Renaud Capuçon (violin) & Martha Argerich (piano) Beethoven: Piano Trio ...
  
  











  



  
Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra; Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta; Hungarian Sketches
Bela Bartok, Fritz Reiner, ...

RCA, 1993

Reiner Is Great In The Music Of Bela Bartok, RCA Deserves Praise For The Sound
Just a mention that this is a review of the RCA 'Living Stereo' release, not the later SACD compatible version. RCA was famous for it's ground-breaking work in the mid-to-late fifties when it came to vivid, immersive stereo sound and it's reputation lives to this day. ...
  
  











  



  
Duo Piano Extravaganza
Mischa Maisky, Eduard Brunner, ...

Philips, 1995

My most cherished musical find
I am a 20-year-old piano major who was told to listen to this CD by one of my professors when I was trying to decide what to study as a major four-hands work. Since I am on a "student budget," I decided to listen to the college library's copy of this CD before buying, ...

Bela Bartok, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

A classic Tchaikovsky Second Concerto, plus astonishing Richter
The reissue gods are smiling. This bargain Gemini two-fer contains four superlative concerto recordings--the Tchaikovsky Second and Third with Gilels, the Prokofiev Fifth and Bartok Second with Richter. The conductor throughout is Lorin Maazel, definitely on best ...
  
  











  



  
Béla Bartók: The 6 String Quartets - Takács Quartet
Bela Bartok

Decca, 1998

Spectacular
I bought this CD in preparation for the Takacs Quartet's performance of the Bartok cycle in January of 2005. This recording is absolutely amazing, and it brings out the liveliness and the joy that the members of the Quartet take in playing this piece. Now, make sure ...
