Bartók's vividly colored drama
The meticulous structure and explosive energy push the possibilities of the orchestra to their absolute limits.
A superb performance by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra conducted by Charles Dutoit. The interpretation of each instrument is remarkably clear, and the complex score is vividly brought to life. Bartók's characteristic sharp rhythms and lyricism are expressed with perfect control, making this a recording that can be considered a model for modern orchestral performance.
