Here are some of the things that caught the attention of our reviewers among recent releases: historic recordings of Béla Bartok as the pianist in his own music; a re-issue of the 1980s-era recording of Morton Subotnick's Double Life of Amphibians; Granada 1013-1526, Jordi Savall's latest project utilizing music and recitations to describe the culture of a historical era; and finally, Leonard Slatkin conducting Aaron Copland's rarely-heard ballet Hear Ye! Hear Ye!. What will you find?
