Bartok's Music For Strings Percussion And Celesta - Pierre Boulez, cond.

Great recording. I think I do, however, prefer Boulez's earlier performances of these works on Columbia (Sony), but I can appreciate the level of maturity and wisdom he brings to his remakes.

Marvelous recording, and good to see you back. Your part and parcel of GMG as far as I am concerned.
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

Listening to the 5th. Magnificent. This image below perfectly sums up my thoughts on this symphony:

Exciting singing means the world to me- and Callas' "Giudici! Ad Anna!" from Anna Bolena just melts platinum with its incandescence. 





"Elegance is, as the French say, la réfus. But of course that has to be edited. If you refuse everything, you are as dry as a bone. Selection is the point. . . "

"No one demands great performances any more. You know I loved Callas, who animalized me, and there is Mick Jagger."
