Editorial Reviews

Some people are frightened by the (mostly) 20th century Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. His colorful orchestration and by turns folksy and angular rhythms and melodies seem to be cut from very exotic cloth. But there's nothing to fear--this six-CD set presents his most popular orchestral music played with authentic flair by the Hungarian State Orchestra: the two violin concerti with the excellent soloist Gerhart Hetzel, the suite from his ballet The Wooden Prince, the Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta, the Concerto for Orchestra, and several other flavorful works. As a bonus, three pieces by his compatriot, Zoltán Kodály are included. A fine introduction to a master composer. --Robert Levine

4.0 out of 5 stars Bartok and Kodaly in hungarian style
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2000
This 6 cd box is a very good one if you are looking for a essential Bartok, as a gift you get Kodaly too. Bartok is a master of taking folk songs and translated them to the finest classical music. The quality of recording is very good and we can imagine that the interpretation is accurate since the players are hungarians. There is a tenderness in the orchestra under Mr. Fischer that bring us a light and elegant Bartok instead of a rough one, as we can expect from folkloric music. The Romanian Folk Dances are amazing and you can imagine people dancing in the country. But the best in this collection are the violin concertos. Since I bought this box I listen the concertos many times and it is always a pleasure for soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars a very welcome anthology for modest price
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2001
For many classical music lovers who are not specialists in Hungarian music - and I would count myself among them - this collection of Bartok's orchestral works along with a supplemental Kodaly disc at budget price cannot be too strongly welcomed. The Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra plays with rhythmic finesse and considerable virtuoso skill, and the direction of Adam Fischer is very fine. I will not attempt a comparison between his performances and those of Janos Ferencsik and Arpad Joo among others. The documentation is brief but well written. CD 1 has a playing time of only 39:25, but that should not seriously deter anybody. The tracking and cueing is excellent, as is the digital stereo sound. The reproduction of the painting "Preparing the meal in the wood" by A. Fenyes on the cover is very tasteful. Overall, this is a very satisfying issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars バルトークを満喫できるお得なSET
Reviewed in Japan on October 31, 2017

バルトークの主要な管弦楽作品が5枚のCDに網羅されつつ、演奏も録音も優秀で、とてもお徳感がある。バルトーク好きや、これからバルトークの世界を探求したい方にはお勧めである。
アダム・フィッシャーの指揮は堅実で一音一音丁寧に描いており、知情意を兼ね備えた適度に民族色ある演奏で、東欧の近代音楽が楽しめる。特にバルトークが熱心に研究した民謡をベースにした舞曲系の作品やディベルティメント、かかし王子、弦打チェレスタなどは、さすがご当地の指揮者＆オケという感じで聞き応えがある。また録音が少ないヴァイオリン協奏曲も収録されていおり、これがまた独奏者も含め良い演奏である。
但し「管弦楽のための協奏曲」だけは、元々バルトークがアメリカに移住してからアメリカの機能的なオケのために書いた曲だけに民族色も薄く、オーケストラのショーピース的な側面を持っているので、その点ではシカゴ響やニューヨークフィルの演奏のような派手さはなく、どちらかというと朴訥とした演奏なので賛否は分かれるだろう。決して駄演ではなく、丁寧にじっくりスコアを再現しており、これはこれで味わい深い。ショルティ・CSO、ドラティ・ACOなどとの聞き比べとしては面白い。
おまけの1枚としてコダーイのハーリ・ヤノッシュやガランタ舞曲も収録されており、これも民族色豊かな色彩の演奏で楽しい。
全体的にppp～fffのダイナミックレンジが広い録音で、pppの静寂さとfffでの良く鳴るオケには、生で聞いている様な臨場感がある。
バルトーク作品が5枚、コダーイが1枚。計6枚setでこの値段と質はコストパフォーマンスがとても高い。
