5.0 out of 5 stars Classic performances of great music, 23 Nov 2000
Marvellous music - the Second Concerto must surely be the most exciting concert work of the 20th century, and it gets a cracking performance here. Anda and Fricsay were the leading advocates of their countryman's concerti in the years after the war, giving about 60 performances of the Second alone. This is a digital remastering of their classic 1960 recordings. The Third Concerto is Bartok's farewell to the world - it is a great work with an Appolonian grace and poise, and Anda's performance has long been a favourite of mine. Both Anda and Fricsay died young, and this reissue is very welcome.

5.0 out of 5 stars precision and panache, 25 Aug 2006
If your view of Geza Anda as a pianist has been coloured by his pioneering but uneven cycle of the Mozart concertos, then this disc will be a revelation. The partnership with Fricsay clearly drew sparks from both, and there is a sense of electricity and danger about the fast movements which shows they were completely at one in this fascinating music. The slow movements reveal a dark, longing quality which reflects the call of their Hungarian homeland for composer, conductor and soloist alike. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive, 15 Sep 2008
These performances are totally idiomatic and natural but are also obviously very carefully prepared. The recording is astounding for its age, allowing us to hear the texture of these extraordinary works fully. I haven't heard many alternatives but the Anda/Fricsay abounds in sheer character and personality in comparison to say the Donohoe/Rattle set, which is also beautifully done. Along with Reiner's Bartok this is right at the top of the stereo recommendations for orchestral Bartok.
