CD Reviews

A remarkable Bartok bargain, with first-rate performances

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 03/30/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"EMI's series of triple CDs, marketed as "3," hasn't caught on so far as I can see, but most contain a scattering of first-rate recordings that not long ago went for full price. That holds true in this Bartok box with Argerich's Piano Cto. #3 and Kyung-Wha Chung's Violin Cto. #2. Also in the category of a great performance is Richter's Piano Cto. #2 with Maazel. There is also Kubelik's Concerto for Orchestra with the Royal Phil., not the most energetic account but certainly of interest. I expected Ormandy's Miraculous Mandarin and Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta to be pretty weak tea, and to be sure there's not a touch of the barbaric about either one -- yet what splendid string playiing from the Philadelphians in outstanding analog sound. (The set is somewhat misleadingly labeled Bartok Concertos but contains this one CD of ballet and orchestral music.)

It would be hard to imagine a better compendium aat this ultra-bargain price (below Naxos). The complete rundown is as follows:
