Concerto for Orchestra / Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta

Album by Béla Bartók & Ferenc Fricsay & Deutsches Symphonie‐Orchester Berlin

This orchestral album by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók collects works composed in 1936 and 1943. These pieces exemplify Bartók's mature modernist language, blending Central European folk-derived melodies and rhythms with intricate contrapuntal string writing, prominent percussion and inventive orchestration, and they occupy a central place in his late-period output and in 20th-century orchestral repertoire.
