BELA BARTOK


BELA BARTOK
COMPLETE STRING QUARTETS (1995)
KELLER QUARTET
320 KBPS


Both the Penguin Guide and Gramophone Magazine have praised this recording as being 'echt'-Bartok, in the tradition of the Vegh quartet, but with richer, digital recording, a greater sense of vibrancy and truer intonation. Indeed, Sandor Vegh himself in the sleeve-note praises the Keller's "true sense of communication" with this staggeringly powerful music. These readings easily surpass, among digitally recorded rivals, such showy names as the Emersons or the Juilliards (1981 cycle), as this Hungarian ensemble seems far closer to both the spirit and the soul of this music, as well as being spectacularly accomplished technically. Along with the Vegh and the Takacs, highly recommended. Hard to beat.
