Description:

This is the seventh season of the Tower Records "Sony Classical" Special Selection. This 2-CD set features conductor Eugene Ormandy's masterpieces by Bartók and Kodály, two great composers from his native Hungary. Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra, the second of three recordings, is a masterful performance in which the virtuosity of the Philadelphia Orchestra is more than demonstrated.
