About

This set of two CDs presents a selection from Bartók’s varied piano oeuvre performed by pianists András Schiff and Zoltán Kocsis and also includes historical recordings by the composer himself.

Schiff and Kocsis play music based on folk music, such as the ‘Three Hungarian folk tunes’ and the well-known ‘Romanian Folkdances’. Bartók plays a selection from the last three volumes of his six-volume ‘Mikrokosmos’. This is a rare opportunity to hear Bartók play his own compositions and the recordings were made in London and New York in 1937 and 1940 respectively.
