Bartók: Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2
RecommendedChristian Tetzlaff (violin)
Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Hannu Lintu
This is altogether a fine performance [of the Second Concerto], with Christian Tetzlaff a touch more rhythmically alert and characterful than Renaud Capuçon on his recent recording of these two... — More…

Frank Peter Zimmermann (violin)
Bamberger Symphoniker, Jakub Hruša

Bartók: Piano Concertos Nos. 1, 2 & 3 RecommendedJean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano)
BBC Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda
Bavouzet relishes the high-octane energy of the outer movements of the first two concertos but through his imaginatively varied use of colour manages to avoid the trap of making Bartók's percussive... — More…

Bartók: The Miraculous Mandarin, Hungarian Peasant Songs & other folk dances
RecommendedBudapest Festival Orchestra, Hungarian Radio Chorus, Iván Fischer
As Mandarins go, they don't come more miraculous than this – a vivid, no-holds-barred performance. Everything tells: the flavour is right, the pacing too, and the sound has a toughened, raw-edged... — More…

Veress: String Trio & Bartók: Piano Quintet
RecommendedVilde Frang (violin), Barnabás Kelemen (violin), Lawrence Power (viola), Nicolas Altstaedt (cello), Alexander Lonquich (piano)
For me, Veress’s trio is the heart of this disc. There have been four previous recordings, none of which I’ve heard, but I can’t imagine a more inspired performance; these three play as if they... — More…

Bartók - Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 RecommendedMaurizio Pollini (piano), Shlomo Mintz (violin)
Chicago Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Claudio Abbado
Bartók and Pollini were made for one another - the bite and energy and odd restraint of these masterworks is ideally caught. Mintz does full justice to the Two Portraits. — More…
