RECORDING INFORMATION

 These acclaimed performances of Bartók's 3 Piano Concertos have always been regarded as reference recordings since they were released on LP. They are cornerstones of twentieth-century piano repertory and all three Concertos are available here as a single CD.

"… this luminous and intense performance that reminded me vividly of the rapt occasions when Kovacevichand Davis have given this concerto live, notably at the Proms in 1966 Concerto No.2…
The performances here of two strongly contrasted works provide yet another illustration of the fruitful collaboration between Kovacevich and Davis … In each of the concertos it is Kovacevich’s reading of the finale which crowns the performance … the recording represents the work of Philips engineers at its refined best Concertos 1 & 3]"
