Serenade For Violin Solo, Strings And Percussion

Sonata No. 1 For Violin And Piano

Condition

Here’s a fascinating piece of American classical recording history that brings together some truly legendary figures. This 1978 Odyssey pressing captures Isaac Stern in his prime, tackling Bartk’s notoriously demanding Violin Sonata No. 1 alongside the composer’s equally compelling Serenade. What makes this particularly special is having Leonard Bernstein conducting the Symphony of the Air – the orchestra that emerged from the ashes of Toscanini’s NBC Symphony Orchestra when the maestro retired. Bernstein’s interpretation of Bartk was always incendiary, and his collaboration with Stern on this repertoire represents a meeting of two titanic musical minds at the height of their powers.
