I'm riding the Bartok train right now. I own a whole mess-load of recordings, but the one that I am hitting like a ton of bricks is the 8-CD set with Boulez on DG (mainly large scale orchestral compositions). Amazon (yes, the evil Amazon) has a new copy for around $25 including shipping - man that is a hard bargain to beat for such quality recordings of exquisite music. I am finding some love for the lesser known pieces such as Dance Suite, Two Pictures, Hungarian Sketches, Divertimento for Strings, etc. Good lord this is such incredible music! If you love the whole-tone scale, order immediately
