5.0 out of 5 stars Bonus, 30 Nov 2008
By Liam Mccleary "anthropomorphic" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Ashkenazy interpretations are are a mixed bag. In no.s 2 & 3 (recorded first) he and Solti appear to have very contrary ideas about the works and pull in different directions too often. The performance of the acerbic first is much more successful.
However, the violin concerto recordings, with the brilliant Kyung-Wha Chung, are the main attraction here and are simply indispensable. Her recording of the 2nd is superb (much better than her later recording with Rattle for EMI) and of the 1st the best there is. This strange work of Bartok's early maturity, unpublished until 1956, is lifted well beyond its Straussian origins and made much more than the mere curiousity it is still often treated as. It even blows away the Menuhin recordings.
Buy this for the violin concertos and treat the piano concertos as an interesting bonus only.
