Our Take

Ah, Bela Bartok - the Hungarian composer whose music is as complex and enigmatic as a Rubik's cube covered in goulash. In this latest recording by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Tzimon Barto, and Christoph Eschenbach, Bartok's Piano Concertos truly shine like a pair of lederhosen at Oktoberfest.

From the cascading piano runs in the first concerto to the hauntingly beautiful melodies in the second, this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you both exhilarated and exhausted. Barto's virtuosity on the piano is nothing short of awe-inspiring, as he effortlessly navigates Bartok's intricate rhythms and angular harmonies with the finesse of a Bavarian oompah band.

Eschenbach, meanwhile, leads the orchestra with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker, bringing out all the nuances and subtleties of Bartok's score with the skill of a sausage maker crafting the perfect bratwurst. The ensemble plays with a tightness and cohesion that would make even the most disciplined German shepherd proud.

Overall, this recording is a must-listen for any fan of Bartok or classical music in general. So grab a stein of beer, put on your favourite pair of lederhosen, and dive into the beautiful, mysterious world of Bela Bartok. Prost!
