Bela Bartok Piano Concerto's No. 1 and 3
Divertimento for String Orchestra

Two brilliant recordings of the Bartok legacy constitute this superb collation of committed interpreters, culled from outstanding sound documents from 1962 (Barshai) and 1967 (Serkin/Ozawa). Conductor Seiji Ozawa (b. 1935) enjoys a repute in the modern music of Messaien, Takemitsu, and Ligeti. Pianist Peter Serkin (b. 1947) often favors these same composers. The American composer Ned Rorem writes of Serkin, "He approaches contemporary music with the same depth as he does the classics, and he is unique among the superstars in that he approaches it at all." Russian violist and conductor Rudolf Barshai (1924-2010) helped found the Borodin String Quartet and established the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, 1955-1977. Their collaboration in the Bartok Divertimento enjoys a febrile presence and sympathetic immediacy that bears repeated auditions.

The Bartok First Concerto (1926) exploits the solo instrument percussively --including the instruction that the percussion and tympani be placed directly behind the piano-- yet, in spite of the dissonances and rough Magyar rhythms, the melodic content gains expressive power as the first movement evolves. The Andante silences the brass and strings to become the "night music" between piano and percussion that conveys Bartok's eerie sense of beauty. The concluding Allegro--Allegro molto offers a potent rondo, fast, lively, and dramatically colorful, especially as Serkin and Ozawa realize it.

The Third Concerto (1945) had the composer fighting feverishly to complete it--which he did except for seventeen final bars. Tibor Serly translated the shorthand notes to finish the score. Rather than explosive and percussive, the Third Concerto is gentle and melancholy, a present for Bartok's wife, Ditta. The first movement Allegretto is transparent and light, the textures thin and transparent, as if a simple clarity from late Beethoven had infiltrated Bartok's style. Beethoven's serenity from his Op. 132 A Minor Quartet informs the Adagio religioso, rife with "night music," bird calls, and a Bach-like two part invention. Rhythmic vitality and intricate counterpoint combine for the last movement, Allegro vivace, the last music from Bartok, who died four days later.

The Bartok three-movement Divertimento for String Orchestra (1939) was commissioned by Paul Sacher and his Basel Chamber Orchestra. Neoclassical and eclectic, the work combines Viennese and Baroque forms with Magyar modalities and irregular metric units. Eerie, dissonant, and dark, the Molto adagio asks much of the players by way of double stops and harmonics. The final Allegro assai offers dance and gypsy elements in the course its dynamically shifting textures, culminating in a solo violin cadenza before the energetic coda.

Dvorak Cello Concerto in B Minor/Waldesruhe/Rondo in G Minor for Cello and orchestra

Maurice Gendron Cello, Bernard Haitink London Philharmonic Orchestra

"Remarkably, HDTT transferred the recording from a 1966 Philips LP. Yes, I know they usually transfer material from commercial tapes, but when they find an especially good LP in the public domain, they go for it. Anyway, they do their usual spot-on job cleaning it up and presenting it as though a major record company had just recorded it. Indeed, like most of HDTT's products, this one sounds better than 99% of the recordings made today"

"This DVD has some of the most beautifully realistic and sweetest violin tone I have ever heard! Not only the string tone but the warm sound of the wood of the instrument and the resin on bow as it hits the strings is clearly audible. This is amazing! I have owned many RCA Living Stereo Reel to Reels but none of them can touch the sound of HDTT's Studer 810 RTR to 24/96 DVDs. The emotion in Mr. Friedman's playing is overwhelming and the orchestral playing by the LSO under Mr. Sargent was just right, warm and accented the emotion and beauty of these wonderful compositions"

Lalo Symphonie Espagnole

Henryk Szeryng violin Walter Hendl Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Can good sound be recovered from that old a tape? Definitely.
The sound is faultless.
Reine Lessard UHF Magazine

"Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole is charmingly beautiful and exciting. The high frequencies are smooth, clear, and extended, the high percussion have great impact and bite. This is absolutely my favorite performance of what is my favorite work for violin and orchestra. The sound of this is fabulous, it sounds like a master tape. This is a must have recording, very highly recommended"

Sibelius Violin Concerto in D and
Pelléas et Mélisande, Incidental Music for Orchestra
Ricci embraces a range of colors and effects with seamless mastery: sometimes sweetly lulling, but often rasping and throaty, and occasionally, shrieking among the Northern Lights like a demented banshee in harmonics. The Adagio di molto exudes a haunted, brooding atmosphere, counteracted in the last movement, the "polonaise for polar bears," as Tovey characterized it. Ricci's studied pacing, supported by Fjeldstad's expert symphonic forces, grants us a Sibelius Concerto of enduring power and beauty. As for the sonics they have been afforded the beautiful early stereo Decca sound always a big plus. Beecham selected eight of nine pieces of the incidental music (he omits the Entr'acte) for his vivid recording with the Royal Philharmonic. Each section exemplifies Beecham's strong suits: delicacy, intensely nuanced coloration, refinement, sweetness, lightness, and utmost sensitivity to the emotional context. While the "Pastorale" highlights the RPO woodwinds and strings, the "Death of Melisande" becomes an ardent tone-picture worthy of independent existence. Already in early stereo, our restoration process intensifies Beecham's palette to an extraordinary level of response, a tour de force in the Scandinavian treatment of romance.

Tchaikovsky Concerto No. 1 Piano and Orchestra
Grieg Concerto in A Minor for Piano and Orchestra

Nelson Freire Piano
Rudolf Kempe conducts the Munich Philharmonic

"Recorded by CBS in May 1968 and remastered from commercial 4-track tape, this HDTT disc qualifies for Best of the Year status from the very first notes of the popular 1874 Tchaikovsky Concerto. Rarely has the sonic definition of the piano and orchestra maintained both lucid musculature and suave grace--perhaps in the Richter/Karajan DGG recording with the Vienna Symphony--while preserving the tonal accuracy and linear architecture of the whole. The same superlatives apply to the realization of the world's most perfect keyboard concerto, Grieg's 1870 Concerto in A Minor"
