Bela Bartok was indisputably one of the 20th century's greatest composers; and his very modern approach, leavened with the rhythms of his native Hungary's folk music, are to be found on this recording that pairs his complete 1924 ballet "The Miraculous Mandarin" with his 1936 "Music For Strings, Percussion, & Celesta."
Both scores are superbly performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in this recording made in November 1983 under their Conductor Laureate, Antal Dorati. Dorati, very much a specialist in 20th century music, and like Bartok a Hungarian, brings out the best in Bartok. Listening to "Mandarin", it is easy to see why this ballet, with its horrific scenario involving murder, caused such consternation in its first performance in Cologne, Germany in 1926.
As for "Music For Strings, Percussion, And Celesta", again, Dorati and his Detroit Symphony bring out the best in this masterful piece. This is especially true in the work's celebrated third movement (Adagio), which director Stanley Kubrick masterfully used for his 1980 horror masterpiece THE SHINING. It is a brilliant piece of modernism combined with Hungarian folk rhythms.
This recording comes with a very strong recommendation, especially for those who have a taste of 20th century music that runs slightly towards the sinister.
