Solti And Perahia: Bartok's Sonata For Two Pianos And Percussion

Sir Georg Solti (1912-97) had a special link with Bartok's 'Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion' - he turned the pages for Bartok's wife when she and her husband premiered the piece in Budapest in 1938. Half a century later with pianist Murray Perahia and percussionists Evelyn Glennie and David Corkhill he produced a recording of this masterwork. This film observes the musicians at work during the marathon CBS recording sessions and includes a performance of the completed work.
