Mikrokosmos

- A further release in Kocsis’s highly and widely acclaimed Bartók, the fifth volume, dedicated to Mikrokosmos. Bartók started composing this six-volume set of progressive studies when his son Péter started to play the piano.

- Bartók noted that:
“My pedagogical works differ from the rest of my works only in one aspect: their easier technical level... As far as the musical and artistic value is concerned, they can bear comparison with any of my major compositions.”

- Of the first volume (434 104-2) Stereo Review wrote: “A highly impressive first volume...this series could become a landmark”.
