This 1965 recording of Bartók’s The Miraculous Mandarin and Divertimento for Strings, performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Antal Doráti, captures the raw energy and intricate brilliance of Bartók’s compositions. Doráti, a renowned interpreter of Bartók’s works, brings a dynamic precision to the vivid, often haunting textures of The Miraculous Mandarin, a pantomime-ballet that pulses with primal intensity. Paired with the Divertimento for Strings, a piece that showcases Bartók’s mastery of folk-inspired motifs and lush string writing, this album is a testament to the orchestra’s versatility and Doráti’s deep connection to the composer’s vision.
