Quote: Both the Penguin Guide and Gramophone Magazine have praised this recording (now reincarnated at super-bargain price on the Ultima label) as being 'echt'-Bartok, in the tradition of the Vegh quartet, but with richer, digital recording, a greater sense of vibrancy and truer intonation. Bye the way regarding my pervious message. This message/quote is incorrectly listed on Amazon and is about the 'Keller' recording !

Thanks. I ordered the CD.

I'm glad having a choice between these recordings .... btw if being hard pressed likely the early Alicia De Larrocha performance would have the edge ....

I've been listening to some of his recordings and i've enjoyed them ! Do you prefer these or 'De Larrocha' or no preference for you ?

The last time I saw Don DeFore was in the congregation of a Gene Scott TV show. He was noticably old and enthusiastic.

I am sure both Chess and Garage Band are save to remove. Other apps...not so sure. Yes, I am updated to Sonoma, which did weird (though not devastating) things to my music when I upgraded.

Bobby Scott was an interesting guy. He composed and arranged an album titled The City, credited to Larry Elgart, on MGM. It is a tone poem portraying the many moods of the concrete jungle. It is very densely arranged throughout; it feels like the full ensemble - brass, reeds, and rhythm - is playing most of the time, with few changes in texture and density. I like nearly all of the tracks on their own - they sound great in playlists sandwiched between other tracks - but I tend to feel fatigued when I listen to the whole album at one sitting. https://www.amazon.com/The-Village/dp/B0B79WKCDX This is one of the better tracks on the album, but there are things to like throughout.

I know McNulty when I see him!

Monica Zetterlund – Diamanter ... Sweden 2005

So musical and funky !

Thnx, interesting ....

These recordings are from 1991 but studio ... recorded in Japan. I am not an expert in Bartok's stringquartets ... these recordings are growing on me little by little, especially the first ...
