Fine Recording,

This review is from: Schiff Plays Bartok (Audio CD)
This is a fine recording of Bartok piano music. Schiff's performance is precise and clear. The Dance Suite is the most ambitious of these pieces but is relatively demanding because of its 'modernist' sound. I think it repays careful listening to appreciate the underlying structure of the music. The remaining pieces were inspired by Bartok's extensive ethnomusicologic work. All are enjoyable, some are lovely.

Expression, temperament and personality!,
By Hiram Gomez Pardo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Schiff Plays Bartok (Audio CD)
If you inquired me about the technique equipment at this moment the list would be numerous; but if you go on respect to the musicality behind the expression and the employment of the technique conceived as a toll and not a goal by itself in which Bartok's piano music concerns, I should name just three: Zoltan Kocsis, Andras Schiff and Mijail Rudy.Schiff stated on Sunday March 7, 1993 to New York times. Bartok `s roots are strongly based in the soul of his country, but he was a great humanist, trying to unit cultures. When I listen to Bartok, I'm proud of being from Hungary." Despite the warning of the unmatched and celebrated musical gems recorded by György Sandor in the middle sixties (see my review about it) this is a magnificent option to feel the greatness of Bartok in his deserved stature without fireworks or eccentricities. |
