Géza Anda (piano) English Chamber Orchestra The highly respected Hungarian pianist Geza Anda (1921-1976) has appeared on BBC Legends once before in a mixed recital including Bartok (BBCL41352) recorded at the 1955 Edinburgh Festival. This programme of broadcasts from the 1970's showcases him in two Mozart concertos and the technically challenging Bartok Piano Concerto No.2. All these works have been recorded in the studio during the early 1960's but here we have three rare broadcasts made a year before his premature death at the age of 55 (the Bartok concert was three years earlier) Anda's recording of the Mozart Concerto K467 was the soundtrack to the award winning film 'Elvira Madigan' and as a result, went onto be an international best seller establishing him as a major interpreter of Mozart. The Bartok Concerto No.2 features Pierre Boulez conducting, one of the great composers and conductors of contemporary music of our time. The stereo CD is 81 minutes long, fantastic value - three piano concertos on one CD. |
