Bartok - The Concerto Album

Kyung-Wha Chung, Sviatoslav Richter, Martha Argerich, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Tabea Zimmermann

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Philharmonia Orchestra, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Philadelphia...

The interpretation is passionate, but she finds time for a dreamy lyricism that never cloys - most of all, in Bartók's nocturnal variations in the poetic middle movement.
