5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, DOWNRIGHT ENJOYABLE, 10 Oct 2003
I have to agree with the previous reviewer, it is downright enjoyable. There is something about Fritz Reiner that always seems to make his recordings so. I don't know whether this is necessarily a good thing. I used to have his recording of Shostakovich's 6th symphony and now I don't and I miss it. He made it sound so logical, he made it sound like it belonged in the canon of symphonic heritage, Mravinsky doesn't. He had a reputation of being a bit of a tyrant, (I'm sure he was, but I don't know and I'm not sure that I care) His recordings don't sound tyranical and that's what matters. I wish there were more Reiner recordings available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music, Great Playing, 8 April 2003
By A.K.Farrar "AKF" (Timisoara, Romania) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I have bought this CD several times and left it behind with friends everytime I've moved- it comes at a price allowing you to give it away and spread it around.

Bartok is now much more mainstream than he used to be and the pieces on this are easily accessible (downright enjoyable I'm tempted to say).
