Another reason to seek out this midprice disc is the presence of the
Concerto for 2 Pianos, Percussion and Orchestra (noted by Marcello with
a wink).  It is interesting to compare the original sonata with this
orchestration done by Bartok himself.  To my taste, the original is better
and far more interesting; the orchestration muddies the wonderful interplay
of the sonata.

An added bonus on the disc is a sparkling version of Mozart's Andante with
Five Variations also played by Kovachevich and Argerich.
