NEW, UNPLAYED. New Old Stock from the Bartok estate. May have a very minor corner bump on sleeve. The LPs are not shrink-wrapped from the factory, but they are new, right out of the boxes from the pressing plants.

 Bartok Records Catalog # 916

Bartók: Contrasts for Violin, Clarinet and Piano
Bartók: Sonata for Solo Violin Leonid Hambro, piano; Stanley Drucker, clarinet; Robert Mann, violin

The Contrasts was written after the composer heard jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman on a phonograph record. The Solo Violin Sonata is recorded here using the quarter tones in the last movement, as it was originally conceived.

This represents one of the very early recordings of Stanley Drucker on his way to become an internationally renowned American Chamber Music and Symphony clarinet player.

My fiancee and I have been given the great opportunity to offer Peter and Bela Bartok’s records/CD catalog for sale. The son of famed composer Bela Bartok, Peter Bartok had a successful career as an audio engineer, producer, composer, record label director, and many more roles. Please take a moment to look around our other listings. You’ll find CDs, LPs, and box sets of many of Bela’s works, as well as those of fellow composers and artists of the time. Peter spent much of the 1950s rearranging his father’s music, having it re-recorded or transferred from 78s. He would meticulously edit the audio to bring it to new life on 33RPM records. All the records are monophonic and sound great.

I will be handling all of the NOS (brand new) inventory, but my fiancee’s account will be handling his personal collection of mostly classical music with the occasional jazz and folk albums. You can find her account by searching “ourneverendingtreasures” or by copy-pasting this link:
