Description:

Thrilling Bartók by Boulez in the '70s is now available on SACD hybrid for the first time! In the analog LP era, Boulez's Bartók recordings marked a new pole of interpretation of Bartók. Unlike the mature interpretations of his later performances, this is a performance typical of Boulez in the 1970s, showing a cool and precise approach, but with an inner passion and radicalism. This SACD hybrid disc is licensed from Sony Classical and released by Dutton in the U.K. The SACD layer contains four channels (quadraohinic) of multi-channel audio in addition to the stereo audio. The SACD layer includes 4-channel (quadraohinic) multi-channel audio in addition to the stereo audio, all remastered from the original analog masters by label owner Michael J. Dutton (who also did the 4-channel remix for the Butoh Suite). ! (C) Shigeo Itakura
