Piano Concerto no. 1

Album by Béla Bartók & László Borbély & Savaria Szimfonikus zenekar & Kovács János

Piano Concerto No. 1 is the first piano concerto by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1926. The work juxtaposes angular dissonances, driving rhythms and folk-influenced motifs with demanding piano writing, reflecting Bartók's interwar modernist language and marking a development in his approach to large-scale instrumental forms.
