The Complete Columbia Album Collection (Box Set)

Few musicians were more significantly linked with a single composer than the late Hungarian-American pianist György Sándor with his teacher Béla Bartók. The authoritative recordings of Bartók's music that Sándor made for American Columbia between 1945 and 1955 and decades later for Sony Classical during his "golden years" are now being reissued in a single box set of 17 CDs. It also contains his justly famed interpretations of composers ranging from Bach to Rachmaninoff. The earlier, monaural discs have never been issued before on CD.
