Best Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra evar.






















Ok, it is a little bit of exaggeration to say that since I have not heard virtually ALL recordings of this warhorse. But this knocks the socks off the efficient but SNOREfest overrated Fritz Reiner's recording with Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Its in bloody mono but who fucking cares, this is Bartok in one of his earthbound best, with much soul and humanity than much of mechanized precision of today's orchestral recordings. This should be on SACD ages ago goddammit.
