Music reviews of Bartok: Complete Solo Piano Music
Music Review: Extraordinary CDs
Rating: 5 Stars
Gyorgy Sandor, whom I remember seeing in the halls of the University of Michigan School of music many years back, does an amazing job at recording all the Bartok piano pieces. It's really incredible when an artist is able to achieve this kind of scope and do this much work. Of course, having a good teaching job at Michigan and other places and his renown helped a lot, I am sure. In any case, I expected a couple of CDs in this box, but not FIVE of them! Bartok also, obviously, had the highest of aspirations. It's hard to get a grip on this, since each is over 70 minutes long so we're talking about 6 hours of music here. I've been purchasing almost all the sheet music as well to go with these. No better way to study the great composer.

Description of Bartok: Complete Solo Piano Music
S?ndor, still active at 90 as this reissue appears, was a student of Bart?k and a preferred interpreter of his music. Since this set appeared on nine LPs in the early 1960s, it has been the standard for Bart?k's piano music; in this fine-sounding reissue, it still is. S?ndor can hit hard enough for such virtuoso pieces as the Piano Sonata and "Out of Doors," but he also retains the romantic element heard in the composer's own playing which tempers the harsher qualities of the music. While this collection isn't quite as complete as advertised (some early, insignificant piano music by Bart?k is omitted), it includes all of Bart?k's significant piano music, including such relatively obscure gems as the Bagatelles, eight Improvisations, and many delectable folk arrangements which will appeal even to listeners who think Bart?k is too challenging for them. Vox's recorded sound, superbly remastered, resists obsolescence as effectively as S?ndor's performances. Even with the inclusion of the early books of "Mikrokosmos," which will appeal mostly to piano students, this set is worth several times the asking price. --Leslie GerberGeneral CDs
