Amazon.com Pierre Boulez has recorded all of this music before, and very successfully. Those recordings are available at mid-price on Sony, and though the recorded sound is a bit better on these newer discs, you can’t really go wrong either way. Boulez has always brought a special measure of incisiveness and clarity to Bartok, sometimes at the cost of a certain emotional warmth–but that’s not a criticism that applies to this pair of immaculately played performances. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra knows this music as well as any orchestra in the world, and its chorus is one of the country’s finest. So if the coupling appeals to you, go for it! –David Hurwitz Product Description [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand]
