Konzert für Orchester / Musik für Saiteninstrumente, Schlagzeug und Celesta

Album by Béla Bartók & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

This release is an album compiling two orchestral works by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, with the pieces composed in 1943 and 1936 respectively. The music combines folkloric-influenced modal melodies, intricate counterpoint and bold orchestral colour — ranging from virtuosic sectional writing to delicate percussion and celesta textures — and represents a pivotal moment in Bartók's late output where his folk-rooted language is fused with modernist orchestration.
