 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
Sir George Solti was renowned as a Bartok specialist and made many award-winning recordings over the years as both a conductor and an instrumentalist. Here two of his formally best-selling full-priced recordings are combined for an outstanding value. Pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy is in top form breezing through these often harrowing virtuosic concerti like a force of nature. The youthful Kyung Wha Chung likewise delivers vital passionate performances of the composer's two stirring violin concertos. Decca's sound is also state of the art.
