Free Music Review: Great Concertos, well played, great price.
Hit: 5 Stars

It's tough to beat Naxos, considering how inexpensive their discs are. And there generally is no sacrifice in quality of performance--certainly not on this disc. Bartok has to be considered one of the great revolutionaries in writing for the piano. More than anyone, he makes it into a fantastic percussion instrument. In the 1st Concerto, where this is most evident, the Piano sounds like the warlord leader, and the orchestra like his supporting gang. The slow movement in the 1st is a great example of B's "Night Music," some of the most compelling slow music ever. The 2d Concerto is Bartok's response to neo-classicism, starting off with Baroque-sounding trumpets, then gradually breaking apart into his usual madhouse. The 3d Concerto, from my point of view, is a disappointment. He was tired and dying (and yet the unfinished Viola Concerto has energy). Fans of this disc should also try Bartok's Piano Sonata, his suite for Piano "Out of Doors," and his Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion.

Bartók: Piano Concertos Nos. 1-3 Poster

Here is another great deal courtesy of Naxos, the budget label that has the full-priced competition running for cover. Here are Bartók's three spectacular piano concertos, played to a fare-thee-well by accomplished Hungarian artists who know the music as if they were born listening to it (which they probably were). Jenö Jandó has been the "house pianist" for Naxos, recording everything from the complete Beethoven piano sonatas to all of the Mozart piano concertos--and generally very well too. Here, however, he's on home ground. You expect these performances to be special, and Jandó doesn't let us down. The recording is quite fine, too. --David Hurwitz
