Bartok in the Desert: CD Tip for the Week


Check it out! Posted by Hello

Heard about this gem and clips on studio360 broadcast. Outstanding playing and a remarkable story behind it. Irén Marik studied piano with Bela Bartok (as did one of my own teachers) and later sunk into undeserved obscurity. Many of these are from private recordings. You can download and hear her performance of Debussy's Cloches à travers les feiulles here. Lovely!
