About this product

Béla Bartók's monumental Mikrokosmos, containing 153 mainly short InchprogressiveInch piano pieces composed between 1932 and 1939, is both a very special piano method and a collection of wonderfully original performance pieces (the series actually contains almost the complete piano music by Bartók from the 1930s). Finally, it is also a detailed introduction to different aspects of his compositional style. With Mikro-kosmos, Bartók, who was generally reluctant to teach composition, created a veritable method of composition. A series of short piano pieces for the 1913 Piano Method jointly authored by Bartók and Sándor Reschofsky and published by Rózsa- völgyi in Budapest is the most immediate precursor of Bartók's magnum opus, the six-volume Mikrokosmos. In 1913, the composer's basic endeavor was to help produce a true modern piano school, in which all performance pieces and some easy exercises made up Bartók's contribution. The 48 little pieces by Bartók included five-finger exercises, easy contrapuntal pieces, occasional essays in different styles as well as a range of character pieces.

Bruckner / Mehta,Zubin - Bruckner: Symphony No.9 - SHM-SACD   - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

Bruckner's Symphony No. 9, which Bruckner worked on until just before his death, naturally expresses a sublimity that seems to be filled with resignation. Although it is an unfinished work, it is extremely complete in terms of content, and as the composer says, it is truly a work dedicated to God. This recording is also known as a masterpiece that captures the distinctive tone of the Vienna Philharmonic's instruments with realistic texture and the rich sound that fills the Zofienzaal, as the young Mehta conducted the Vienna Philharmonic at the age of 29.

Andras Bach - Bartok: Complete Works for Piano Solo   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Bartok Complete Works for Piano SoloInchSince my childhood I have felt a strong affinity with the music of Bartok, which I sensed from an early age to be particularly honest and truthful. The time I spent with it gave me the opportunity to discover aspects of myself to which I should otherwise have had little access. The complete recording of Bartok's works for piano gave me the chance to experience this music even more intensively than before and to gain a better understanding of Bartok's artistic journey, to recognize the young Bartok in the late composer and the late Bartok in the young man. At the same time, I wanted to make a recording that shows Bartok from other angles than those often highlighted.Inch Andreas Bach
