Richter & Vedernikov play Bartók: Sonata for 2 Pianos (1/4)

[CZP87]

Probably my favorite Bartok work, it's absolutely amazing! The recording is too, performing this music in Russia 5 years before would have been pretty dangerous.

Bartok was such a genius, even by today's standards he still stands out as brilliant.

the phrase "even by today standards" is bewildering to say the least. What are these standards you are talking about?

[catalystguitarguy]

what i meant was that he was much more brilliant than 90%+ of composers today, and i'm not limiting my comparison to classical or impressionistic music when i say that, i mean to include all musical forms.

Wonderful performance. Tortured piece.

Bartok's music is something I cant ever understand :(

This is a very scary, menacing sonata. I like the terror of the piece. Mahalo for uploading it.
