Rafael Kubelík stood up for the music of Béla Bartók throughout his life. With the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in 1973 he presented an interpretation of the Concerto for Orchestra that is still considered a reference recording today. „This is a performance to keep making you smile with delight (…) Kubelik presents a relaxed view with the rhythms pointed to bring out the wit, above all the peasant-like jollity" - Gramophone.
