Authentic Bartok.
09/23/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This collection of pieces by Bartok is conducted by his Hungarian compatriot, Ferenc Fricsay. Fricsay, a student of Bartok while at the Franz Liszt Academy, has a unique understanding of his music and really brings it alive. This version of the Concerto for Orchestra is recognised as a classic - with hungarian authenticity and a superbly executed performance, this is an electric experience. The Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is a personal favourite - if you've never heard Bartok before start off with this version. The sound is mono (recorded in the mid/late 50's) but this doesn't detract from the enjoyment of listening to these pieces played by a master."
