5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Batok!, July 13, 2000
This review is from: Bartók: Works For Piano Solo [Oeuvres Pour Piano / Klavierwerke] (Audio CD)
I don't think Bartok's piano music has ever sounded as incredible as it does in these wonderful performances by Zoltan Kocsis. Every detail in as clear as can be, without ever reducing the wonderful excitement of this music. Just listen to the "Allegro Barbaro" or the various Roumanian Folk Dances and you'll see what I mean! This repertoire is as yet poorly represented on disc, and this collection is any Bartok-lover's dream. It is well packaged, the sound quality is superb, but above all, the music shines in all its glory through the fingers of a true virtuoso. I'm certain that the next addition to my CD collection will be the other half of Kocsis' complete survey of the piano music of Bartok.

4.0 out of 5 stars Had a piece I couldn't find elsewhere, December 19, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I purchased this CD for these particular Roumanian dances... I was unable to find them elsewhere and I highly reccomend them. Most of the CD has great lit on it. The folk songs are charming. I don't really care for the "studies." So, I skip through those and listen to this CD often.
