RE: Humble Classical Lp Recommendations by Composer: Bartok

Hi jdaniel - you have some very good selections here. As far as some additions, I would add Perlman's performance of the 2nd Violin Concerto with the LSO, Previn conducting. There is also a great record of Pollini doing the first two piano concertos with Abbado conducting the Chicago Symphony. And there are also a few recordings out there of Bartok himself performing some of his piano compositions, which are of course very interesting. A little more out of the ordinary is a recording Boulez did with the New York Phil of his cantata, the Wooden Prince.

Now I must heartily disagree with you on the Reiner recordings. The Concerto for Orchestra has never been surpassed, though I do think the Ormandy one mentioned is very very good as well. Those are by miles the best two performances of the piece I am aware of on recordings. Reiner's Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste is also a great performance.

For those of you that love to listen for mistakes in Solti's famous one-take recordings with the Chicago Symphony, the Concerto for Orchestra paired with the Dance Suite has a great many....
