Welcome! Just goes to show you we all have something to teach others and learn from others. Never heard of Still until now, and I see he actually has many discs on Amazon. Another composer to explore! Any recommendations on where to start?
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

Hello Ten - welcome to the GMG forum! :)

There is certainly a LOT of information available here and you'll find plenty of recommendations, so your money can disappear quite rapidly!  ;D

Welcome aboard! I hope you find something useful here for you.

Bartok is one of my absolute favorite composers. I think you mean William Grant Still, right? If so, he's a very underrated composer I think. I own many of his recordings. What are some your favorite Bartok works?
