best recording of bartok 3
on: January 29, 2005, 06:37:40 AM
i have a recording of bartok's wonderful 3rd piano concerto by i think Stephen Kovacevich and the BBC symphony orchestra (i burned the cd off the uni library and that's apparently what i have written down) and when i first heard it i thought it was absolutely brilliant magnificant, and still do. but is there someone better who could actually play it better than this? who would you all recommend?

zoltan kocsis is an excellent interpreter of bartok, but I'm not sure if he has recorded that piece.

My favourites are Argerich with Dutoit/ Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (absolutely amazing), Geza Anda live with the Staatskapelle Dresden/ Karajan, and Annie Fischer live with the Wiener Philharmoniker/ Solti.
I also have Bronfman's recordings of all 3 concertos but find them quite bland.

I don't think you can beat the DG recording of Geza Anda.
