NotesFew musicians were more significantly linked with a single composer than the late Hungarian-American pianist György Sándor with his teacher Béla Bartók. The authoritative recordings of Bartók's music that Sándor made for American Columbia between 1945 and 1955 and decades later for Sony Classical during his "golden years" are now being reissued in a single release of 17 albums. It also contains his justly famed interpretations of composers ranging from Bach to Rachmaninoff. György Sándor was born in 1912 in Budapest, where he studied the piano with Bartók for four years at the Liszt Academy as well as composition with Zoltán Kodály. He made his public debut in 1930 and, after performing widely throughout Europe, made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1939. The following year he decided to settle in the US, where he took citizenship, taught at two universities before moving in the 1980s to New York's Juilliard School, where his students included Hélène Grimaud and Malcolm Bilson. He continued to perform right up to 2005, the year of his death. He performed and recorded Bartok's music throughout his career, and his recordings document his special insight into the master's works. Having prepared Bartók's first two piano concertos under the composer's guidance, the year after Bartók's death Sándor gave the world premiere of the Third Piano Concerto with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra and recorded it for Columbia. Decades later, in 1989, Sándor made an acclaimed recording of all three concertos for Sony Classical, with Adam Fischer conducting the Hungarian State Orchestra, also included in the new set. During his first decade with Columbia, Sándor recorded large swaths of Bartók's solo piano music, including the complete Mikrokosmos on three LPs. In the 1990s, the pianist, by then in his 80s, returned to Bartók's solo works, this time recording virtually all of them except the Mikrokosmos.
