Margaret Mikulska wrote of the Bartok concerto:
>Both are controversial, because they have little to do with Bartok.
>Bartok left a pile of chaotic sketches, too chaotic to speak of any
>"reconstruction". Each can be better regarded as a new work, based on
>Bartok's sketches. It does not represent Bartok's music, quite simply.
>For the same reasons, neither does the Bartok Jr/Neubauer work.
Both versions are on the same Naxos CD, which includes a rhapsody by
Serly.
