This 1969 album, featuring the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor Antal Doráti, is a masterful exploration of Bartók's innovative and groundbreaking works. The recording highlights Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, a hauntingly atmospheric piece that showcases Bartók's genius for texture and rhythm, with Doráti's meticulous direction bringing out its eerie beauty and dramatic contrasts. Paired with the Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, a bold and rhythmically complex work, the album captures Bartók's fusion of folk influences and modernist experimentation.
