“Mackerras's close rapport with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the superb expertise of the Linn recording makes this an outstanding disc.” Sunday Telegraph “Sir Charles Mackerras emphasises the dance elements in these three scores, and in doing so, creates a most appealing programme. He paints the Bartók score with rich colours and draws forth some splendidly rhythmic energy.” Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2005 “Charles Mackerras and the orchestra manage to be both expansive and rhythmically acute in the early pages of the Dances. The particular interest of this performance of Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is that the body of strings, smaller than the normal symphony orchestra, is close to that of Paul Sacher's Basel Chamber Orchestra at the premiere. The playing in this and the Divertimento is alert and full of enthusiasm...” BBC Music Magazine, November 2004 *** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Ernest Ansermet's view of Bartok was a lyrical one and his incredible ear brought out lines, sonorities and shape in this music that have rarely been equalled. Here, collected together on CD for the first time, are his complete Bartok recordings for Decca as part of the ongoing 'Decca Ansermet Legacy' and they include some of his most famous orchestral works, with a first release on CD of the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, and a first international release of the other orchestral works. The Piano Concerto No. 3, released as part of the Ansermet volume in Decca's 'Original Masters', features Julius Katchen as soloist. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
