Ok thanks, I will look into it, I hope it is not too rare to find this.

[mephisto]

I think it is quite rare actually.

BIS and naxos have recording so the piano concertos no1,4,5 and the variations for two pianos and orchestra. Both labels are good. If you like Bartok you will like this music.

Gimse has recorded much of the solo piano music for naxos to.

[clavicembalisticum]

I will most definitely look at it. Thanks.

[mikey6]

Gotta love British pride, not that I'm English but no one has mentioned arguably their 2 greatest composers?
