Concerto for Orchestra / Viola Concerto

Album by Béla Bartók & Jaroslav Karlovský & Česká filharmonie & Karel Ančerl

Concerto for Orchestra / Viola Concerto is a release of orchestral works by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1943 and 1945 respectively. They exemplify Bartók's late-period synthesis of Central European folk elements with modernist techniques, featuring colourful orchestration, rhythmic drive, modal and dissonant harmonies and a focus on concise formal structures that reflect his final stylistic direction.
