“A self-recommending collection of Solti's digital recordings which has special individuality and distinction. Solti had a great and natural affinity with Bartok...the extra warmth of the music-making brings out the lyrical qualities of the music. The Concerto for Orchestra has great zest and bold colouring” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | 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. |

“Zoltán Kocsis has a world reputation as a pianist… On this evidence his conducting is equally as mesmerising, and equally insistent on never conjuring attention away from the music...In Bartók's familiar Dance Suite the music's rhythmic drive is seriously exciting, yet nothing is forced. And in the other works too, every melodic phrase is graced with playing that's both crystal-clear and wonderfully characterised.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

“Marin Alsop enters flamboyantly into the baleful spirit of the ballet, with rhythms sharp as a whiplash and a recording that makes beautifully audible each louche glissando, hysterical tremolando or feverish piano arpeggio. The Bournemouth orchestra covers itself in glory by the sheer colourfulness and intensity of its playing.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2005 **** | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
