If you haven’t already, you should check out my post of Bartok’s Violin Concerto No.1. You should be able to fit these two albums together on one CD – a great companion on a long road trip. This particular LP is a real gem from 1965 in near mint condition. Unlike my other Bartok posts, you should hear negligible surface noise and debris in this transcription.
