The Mercury
Living Presence recordings have acquired legendary status and have
been much sought-after by audiophiles and “ordinary” listeners
alike for their outstanding sound quality and roster of famous artists
in both core repertory and less well-known music. As well as a wide
variety of Central European music, Mercury Living Presence achieved
distinction for the wealth of American music that appeared on the
label.
This set is one of the first in a group of releases that makes these
justly celebrated recordings available as box sets arranged by cycles
of repertory or collections of music under the musical direction of
one of the famous names linked with Mercury Living Presence.
This set presents Bartók’s major orchestral works, along
with a riveting performance of the Second Violin Concerto with Yehudi
Menuhin, and the composer’s only opera, Bluebeard’s Castle.
These legendary recordings are under the musical direction of the
great Hungarian conductor and champion of Bartók, Antal Dorati. |
