Béla Bartók: Violin and Viola Concertos
Sep 13th, 2012 by dcronin
“Canadian violinist James Ehnes, ably backed by the BBC Philharmonic under the energetic Gianandrea Noseda, sets himself a challenge here with an original and difficult program, and then meets all the challenges involved in this fine Bartók disc. …An excellent choice not only for Bartók’s concertos, but as an introduction to this giant of 20th century music who felt the dictates of wider cultural developments but worked things out fully in his own way.” –All Music Guide
