Bela Bartok is one of the unquestionably "great" composers and one of the few modern composers who established themselves in the repertoire. His three piano concertos are central to his biography and musical output, but only the Third, with some generosity, could be considered "popular". Although well represented on disc, the first two are rare concert program guests. Tzimon Barto sees a problem in an all-too-mechanical approach to these two percussive works: "Even Bartok needs a supple touch. If you bang away at it, without rhythmical buoyancy, of course it will become tedious." These recordings are his attempt, at doing justice to his Bartok-ideal.
