Review by James Shallcross
Concerto No 2 by Béla Bartók, performed by Eugene Ormandy, Alexis Weissenberg, and The Philadelphia Orchestra, is a stunning display of musical virtuosity. The album features Bartók's second and final piano concerto, which is widely regarded as one of his greatest works.
The performance is masterfully executed by Ormandy, Weissenberg, and The Philadelphia Orchestra, who bring a sense of urgency and intensity to Bartók's complex and challenging score. Weissenberg's piano playing is particularly impressive, showcasing his technical skill and emotional depth.
The album also includes Bartók's Dance Suite, which is a lively and colorful piece that showcases the composer's unique blend of folk and classical influences. The Philadelphia Orchestra's playing is energetic and precise, capturing the spirit of Bartók's music perfectly.

Notes
Collection Fiori, 1979 French Reissue of RCA – LSC-3159 (US 1970)About Béla Bartók Eugene Ormandy, Alexis Weissenberg, The Philadelphia Orchestra
Born: 1881-03-25 (Nagyszentmiklós, Magyar Királyság).
Died: September 26, 1945 (New York, New York, United States).
Béla Viktor János Bartók was a Hungarian composer, pianist, ethnomusicologist and collector of Eastern European and Middle Eastern folk music (born 25/03/1881 in Nagyszentmiklós, today Sânnicolau Mare, Romania - died 25/09/1945 in New York, U.S.A).
He is considered one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century; his vast production reveals a daring and restless harmonic instinct that is affected by his passionate studies on Hungarian folk songs. Typical elements of Béla Bartók style (derived from Hungarian, Transylvanian and Romanian folklore) consists in the use of irregular rhythms and a clear preference for obsessive rhythms. His compositions have sonorities, sometimes abstract, but often harsh, rough and barbaric.
Married to the pianist . His 2nd son, became a recording engineer.
