Ferenc Fricsay conducts Béla Bartok – The early RIAS recordings

This anthology of Ferenc Fricsay’s splendid Bartók recordings for the RIAS Berlin documents a summit meeting of famous Hungarian soloists: the pianists Géza Anda, Andor Foldes, Louis Kentner and the violinist Tibor Varga. Fricsay’s time-tested and congenial vocal soloist, once again, is Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
