Vinyl Asylum Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ. |

The Lp's below are my favorite Bartok performances, for now. (Haven't heard everything, of course.) If the recording is particularly remarkable, I've added an (R), if the performance is, I've added a (P). "Desert Island" Lp's = (DI)Sonata for Solo Violin: Ricci on London/Decca.
String Quartets: Juilliard Columbia MONO SET from the '50's. (DI)
Miraculous Mandarin Suite: Ormandy/Philadelphia on EMI (*****R) Bass Drum lovers will be in heaven. Ormandy seems to have super-charged himself in the late '70's as well.
Concerto for Orchestra: Boulez/NY Columbia (The most "fun" performances I know, which is surprising considering the conductor, and the Finale must have brought down the house)
Wooden Prince: Boulez/NY Columbia.
Bluebeard's Castle: Ludwig/Kertesz/LSO on London/Decca *****P) A Classic
Piano Concerto 3: Anda/Fricsay on DGG
Piano Concerto 2: Bishop/Davis on Philips or Kocsis/Fischer on Philips Digital, most vivid and rousing 3rd mov't of all.Dance Suite: Ansermet *****R) One of those Geneva miracles of vivid sound.
Two Pictures: Ansemet/Suisse Romande
Music for Strings/Percussion/Celesta: Haitink/Concertgebouw on Philips (A sleeper of a recording and performance.)
Glaring omissions: Reiner: misses much the fun and the particular Shaded Dog recordings in question have been surpassed. Dorati: much like Reiner, too stiff and recordings are not Mercury's best efforts. Juilliard's "classic" '60's Columbia quartets: Winograd--the cellist and heart/soul of the first set--was replaced.
