The Strad
"This CD is as pleasing as the whimsical painting that
graces the liner notes. It opens with a splendid reading
of 31 pieces from Bartók's piano score entitled For
Children. Bartók's famed Divertimento...opens with
refreshing rhythmic verve...strong rhythms and sweeping
melodies caught up in a magical web of dissonance are
presented with the right blend of modesty and élan."
Turok's Choice
"Lovely transcriptions of Bartók's For Children
for strings, along with his Divertimento, impressively
handled by Ben-Dor and the Sofia Soloists."
Baltimore Sun
"A marvelous Bartók anthology...Ben-Dor's affection
for Bartok has translated into first-class music making...Ben-Dor's
reading is a delightful, affectionate, warm-blooded
reading as good as any in the catalog."
Santa Barbara News-Press
"Ben-Dor and charges dig in with fervor, while not forsaking
a folksy gutsiness and flair...The Bartók Collection
takes us off the beaten path...For Children flips
quickly from one ingratiating mood to another."
