CD Reviews

Amazing and outsanding recordings!

Hiram Gomez Pardo | Valencia, Venezuela | 12/16/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"To play Bartok is always a big challenge. Specially in these two works loaded with all the fierce and nosthalgic mood involved beneath the score .

Kremer did it . The overwhelming demanded by the composer to show the bitterenss and disonances were one by one understood and wisely played for this superb master .

You may find in the market another interesting version as Jenny Abel and Roberto Szidon in the late seventies , but in general the special commitment is a hard to climb peak.

Acquire this jewel CD!

A real tresure."

"These are Bartok's "edgiest" works. As such, they belong to the period of his music that mid-century radicals like Boulez think is his "best". I am not sure this is correct, because I think that some of his late, somewhat less spiky pieces are masterpieces too. It's all Jelly Roll style, as the man said. But these 2 sonatas are amazing, that's for sure. And this performance rocks! Why did I ever have issues with Gidon Kremer? Youthful jealousy, I guess. He was trying so hard to be a Pop star - Kronos syndrome, avant la lettre...But he can back it all up. Viva la difference! What, you want musical analysis? On Amazon? Just buy the CD and get a good book about Bartok."
