A new work to me, which I was fortunate enough to hear and enjoy very much at a concert by my local Symphony Orchestra this weekend. Would welcome any recommendations of recordings, CD only. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations! You've tempted me back onto the forum, albeit only for an instant, to recommend this:
You get two versions of the viola concerto: the 1949 completion and orchestration by Tibor Serly and the 1995 version revised and edited by Peter Bartók (the composer's son) and Paul Neubauer.Last edited by Pulcinella; 01-04-18, 08:24. Reason: Forum, not thread! (But quoted already, so too late!) -
I listened to the excerpts on line and this does sound like a good recording. Wonderful concerto.Originally posted by Pulcinella View PostAndy

Other recordings worth considering are those with James Ehnes (Chandos) and, using an alto violin (a large viola played in a similar way to a cello), Yo-Yo Ma (Sony). There is also a single recording of a version for cello and orchestra played by Raphael Wallfisch (Nimbus).Comment

Lawrence Power on Hyperion , Kim Kashkashisn on ECM and whilst slightly less technically secure Menuhin on EMI for me.In fact Menuhin and Dorati would be my favourite available still on a 2CD Gemini set with the violin concertos, Rhapsodies and duos.Originally posted by Bryn View PostLast edited by Barbirollians; 01-04-18, 11:35.Comment
