Béla Bartók - Concerto for Orchestra - Dance Suite - The Miraculous Mandarin (Suite) - London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Georg Solti - Decca 1965 (Remastered, 2001)

A truly great Bartok recording, this. Many of you will already own it I'm sure, but since I have enjoyed listening to it so very much today (and every time) I feel like posting it, anyone who does not own this classic Bartok should have it in their library! Sir Georg Solti was one of the great conductors, and Bartok was one of his specialties; every moment under his baton is fiery and passionate.

-Which recording do you all prefer, Solti conduction the London Symphony Orchestra here, or the more recent and digital performances of Solti conduction the Chicago Symphony Orchestra? I love both about equally, although ever since this Decca recording has been remastered so superbly, I suppose it has the edge for me.

Sir Georg Solti

No other words are necessary for such brilliant, classic repertoire, so for those visitors who find this recording to be new-enjoy all the Bartokian beauty, power (and especially in the Miraculous Mandarin.....violence :)
