The works on this release provide an excellent overview of how Bartok drew from folk music for inspiration. + One can hear Hungarian, Slovak, and Romanian songs inside of the compositions presented on this album. + Andreas Bach, one of today’s outstanding pianists, performs the works on this album. + “It is not possible to play Bartok’s music in a more Hungarian way than that heard from the German pianist Andreas Bach.” (Muzsikas) |
