This CD is still highly regarded as one of the most powerful and structurally sound approaches to Bartók's work. While it may yield slightly to other famous recordings in terms of emotional depth and nuance, it is an ideal performance for listeners who prioritize precision, power, and clarity. Solti's conducting is clear and well-defined, presenting a Bartók image with excellent structural understanding. Despite being recorded in 1981, DECCA's high sound quality is utilized, achieving a clear and three-dimensional sound image.
