Cat No ARBITER149

This second double album (the first is on ARBITER 143) devoted to the art of pianist Irén Marik contains a generous selection of music by Bartók, with whom she studied in their native Hungary, before following him into exile in the USA. As with the first release, this new set also shows the wide range of Marik’s musical sympathies, ranging from Couperin and Scarlatti to Scriabin – and whetting the appetite for the third and final volume, yet to be released, which will include works by Liszt and Messiaen.
