Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reiner had studied piano with Bart贸k in Budapest, and his Chicago recording of the 'Concerto for Orchestra' was made at Orchestra Hall in October 1955. The work had been commissioned by the Koussevitzky Foundation and premiered by the Boston Symphony in 1944, a decade before this account set the interpretive standard.
