Cristian Măcelaru Conductor
Béla Bartók «Der holzgeschnitzte Prinz», Tanzspiel in einem Akt
Prices CHF 55

Béla Bartók's "Woodcarved Prince" is a fairy tale, a dance play, a symphonic poem, a depiction of nature, a demonic artist's fable – and music so colourful, grotesque and atmospherically powerful that it is almost impossible to escape its effect. It is conducted by Romanian conductor Cristian Mačelaru, who has already recorded the work on CD. "Crackling tension and springy flexibility" is how one critic described his recording. And of course: the whole thing crackles in a completely different way live!
