Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra; Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta; Hungarian Sketches - 2170

Amazon.com Since its release on LP in the mid-1950s, Fritz Reiner's rendition of the Concerto for Orchestra has stood as the standard against which all other recordings of the work are measured. Even after all these years, the recording remains just as convincing and authoritative. Reiner's superb control of his orchestra and of Bartók's rhythms and textures is still unsurpassed, even by dozens of subsequent conductors in the digital age. Likewise, the Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta shows just what an incredible ensemble the Chicago Symphony was under Reiner's direction. This umpteenth reissue, in RCA's Living Stereo series, promises to be the one to have, its sonics noticeably improved over the earlier CD release in 1989. --David Vernier Product description Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Reiner - Bartok - Concerto For Orchestra †Music For Strings, Percussion and Celesta †Hungarian Sketches - CD
