I've always loved this disc. I find the Bartok 2nd really excellent.
It was later reissued coupled with Rach 3 ( Chicago SO/ Prêtre)

R.I.P Maestro.

That's terrible, he was such a great pianist; I've loved his performances of Beethoven's Piano Concertos, with Herbert von Karajan.

Sorry to hear that. He was an astonishing virtuoso, especially in Bach.
