CD Reviews

Riveting Bartok from Barenboim and Boulez, in great sound

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 01/17/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's easy to forget that Daniel Barenbim was once a supreme piano virtuoso, now that his career is dominated by his conducting ambitions. This incredibly dramatic set of the Bartok piano concertos #1 and #3 makes up for a lot of miserable stints on the podium.

Barenboim chooses a warm, grand style that would seem to conflict with Boulez's cool detachment, but somehw they mesh perfectly. The secret is that Boulez isn't analytical or cool here--this is the most passionate account of the orchestral accompaniments I've ever heard. Both pieces have a depth of expression almost never heard from them. Barenboim provides the kind of hair-raising virtuosity that even Argerich cannot match. EMI's remastering is very successful--the close-up sonics are detailed and dramatic. In all, a top contender in these great pieces."
