The Marlboro Music Festival has been a mecca for chamber music in America.  Founded by Rudolf Serkin, the Festival recently celebrated its 50th anniversary with the release of these performances.  Highlights include Benita Valente's gorgeous reading of Der Hirt auf dem Felsen, and Sandor Vegh leading a wild performance of Bartok's Divertimento for String Orchestra.
