Concerto for Orchestra

Album by Béla Bartók & Radio Filharmonisch Orkest & Karina Canellakis

Concerto for Orchestra is a composition for orchestra by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, completed in 1943. The piece features vivid orchestration, dramatic contrasts, folk‑influenced motifs and sectional showpieces that highlight different groups of instruments, and it stands as one of Bartók's late‑career orchestral works that synthesises his ethnic influences with modernist harmonic language.
