Digital Booklet

"Four Stars ... the now-or-never concert adrenaline is palpable. There’s unflinching attack in the savage pantomime The Miraculous Mandarin, deadpan wit in the gentler Dance Suite and it’s all delivered with that unnervingly meticulous, steely focus that conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen gets from the Philharmonia ... I was drawn in by the cool ferocity and steadfast virtuosity of these performances."
- The Guardian
Recorded live in 2011 as part of their critically praised Infernal Dance season, the Philharmonia Orchestra under Esa-Pekka Salonen explore three works by Bartók: the chamber piece Contrasts and orchestral works Dance Suite and The Miraculous Mandarin. Contrasts is one of the composer's most imaginative forays into the world of chamber music and is his only chamber work involving a woodwind instrument, the clarinet, since the piece was commissioned by the "King of Swing" Benny Goodman.
