    About this album

    Solti and the London Symphony Orchestra give Bartók’s modernist orchestral writing striking clarity and bite. This 1964 release pairs The Miraculous Mandarin Suite with Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, two works that show Bartók at his most inventive and uncompromising. The former distils the ballet’s lurid drama into taut symphonic form, while the latter became one of the composer’s best-known masterpieces, admired for its eerie atmosphere, chamber-like precision and architectural force. Under Solti’s direction, the performances highlight Bartók’s rhythmic energy, sharp colours and unsettling emotional tension.
