This article provides information about several music performances. The composer Bela Bartok's music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Kubelik and the Chicago Symphony is one of Bartok's best performances. Violin concerto: Varga with the Berlin Philharmonic has a few beautifully expressive moments embedded in a diffuse rhapsody, the performance is good but recording is not well balanced. Ernest Bloch's concerto Gross for string orchestra and piano obligato is effective but surfaces are noisy. Johannes Brahms performance in the "Academic Festival," is excellent.
