Simply wonderful! Thanks for posting. The conductor's appearance really fits in with the music.

I remember a period where i avoided bartok's music...now I cannot get enough of Bartok. Once you understand Bartok's works, you truly see how innovative his approaches are. However, unlike other Avant Garde composers, this music is still music, not noise paraded around as music.

@tomestubbs Listen to Sandor Vegh's interpretation. He too knew Bartok. There are some things on this recording which dont gel. The agogics of the so-called Bartok accents show a lack of understanding or exposure to someone who knew Bartok's work first hand. On paper it looks and sounds right, but until someone tells you, Bartok told me he intended it this way, you wouldn't know.

I'm part Slovak and identify with the music of Bartok. I do think that Fritz Riener interpretation of his music is top notch but feel that it was because they were friends. Gunther Wand's interpretation of this work from what I remember is more emotional. Do u have a favorite interpretation?

As you might know, Bartók's from Hungary. I meant the soul of the music can be displayed more sophisticated by a Hungarian orchestra in this case.

Perhaps it's true related to other nation's music and groups. It's ok? :)

Hungarian, French, African, Asian whatever, we R all part of the human race. We R blessed to have the music of Bartok in our collective heritage my fellow Hominid.

I think as a Hungarian the best performances bears from Hungarian orchestras. But this interpretation simply enthusiastic!
