5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Batok!, July 13, 2000
By Robert Baxter (Portlethen, Aberdeenshire Scotland) - See all my reviews
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.
