Music For Strings, Percussion, And Celesta / Dance Suite

Album by Béla Bartók & Philharmonia Hungarica & Antal Doráti

Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta / Dance Suite is a paired release of two orchestral works by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1936 and 1923 respectively. The music ranges from sombre, contrapuntal string textures augmented by prominent percussion and celesta to lively, rhythmically driven dance movements, illustrating Bartók's integration of modernist techniques with folk-derived rhythms and marking important developments in his orchestral output.
