When turned up far enough, this super audio coupling of Lutoslawski and Bartók's Concertos for Orchestra by Paavo Järvi and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is mightily impressive. When turned up far enough, the sonic haze disappears and the music comes alive with ravishing strings, warm winds and bright brass, nearly palpable percussion and a sense of immediacy and reality that compares with the finest recordings of any era. Of course, for some listeners, ‘far enough' may be too close to ‘too loud...

One of Bartok's most popular symphonic works is his Concerto for Orchestra; Rafael Kubelik's fabulous recording of it has long been out of the catalogue and is now restored to circulation at budget price. What's more, it's the first recording of the piece made by the orchestra for which it was written. Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony premiered the work in December 1944 and it wasn't until nearly 30 years later, in November 1973, that the orchestra recorded it for the first time - in Boston's...

Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra derives its name from the approach taken in treating instrument groups within the orchestra in a "concertante" or soloist manner throughout the piece. This virtuoso treatment, for example, is notable in the fugato section of the first movement where the brass are highlighted as well as in the second movement where pairs of instruments appear consecutively creating a brilliant passage.

This disc appears in a series of audiophile reissues from RCA called 'High Performance;' accordingly, the 1962-4 sonics boast a spectacular combination of fullness and detail. The Boston Symphony is in fine form, the brass players featuring their soft-grained, vibrato-laden sound in place of the impervious gleam preferred in other American orchestras. This version of the Bartok has had to live in the shadow of the 1955 Reiner account on the same label, justly acclaimed as one of the great Bartok...

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...

Bartók and Lutoslawski composed their concertos for orchestra at opposite ends of one of the twentieth century’s most defining events, World War II. “Yet from separate standpoints—Bartók’s during his last years as an emigrant to the United States and Lutoslawski's during this years of struggle in post-war Poland—the pieces share distinct similarities,” according to the recording liner notes by Jonathan D. Kramer and Eric Dudley. “Both works display their composers’ interests in earlier music...

Description Table of Contents Author Bios Bartks Concerto for Orchestra has proved to be one of the most popularly successful concert works of the twentieth century. It is seen by its champions as an example of Bartks seamless blend of Eastern European folk music and Western art music, and by its detractors as indicative of the composers artistic compromise. This book contains a discussion of the historical and musical contexts of the piece, its early performance history and critical reception...
