Cristian Măcelaru & WDR Sinfonieorchester - Bartók - BBC Music Magazine

Recording 5*
Performance 4*

Cristian Măcelaru's new recording with the WDR Sinfonieorchester, of which he is chief conductor, is vividly appealing and captured in sound of great warmth, even lushness ... Măcelaru's interpretation has a drive that captures the obsession of the prince for a seemingly unattainable princess.
