5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, March 27, 2009

By	Joe Mama - See all my reviews

I'm a Bartok geek (I bought the 30 CD set) and this is the best recording of these works I have ever heard. Don't decide to dislike Bartok until you have heard this divine recording. This is the disc that converted me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous sound and music, September 24, 2006

By	Donald H. Mitchell "dhm" (Arlington, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The music for strings, percussion, and celesta is one of my favorite pieces. This recording is gorgeous with a wonderful tense pacing. Should be part of every collection.
