Musik für Saiteninstrumente, Schlagzeug und Celesta / Bratschenkonzaert

This album is a recording of orchestral and concerto works by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, featuring pieces composed in 1936 and 1945. The music juxtaposes dense string textures with prominent percussion and celesta sonorities alongside a late, lyrical concerto voice, combining modal, folk-inflected harmonies and contrapuntal rigor that point to a more introspective late style, with the concerto left unfinished at Bartók's death and completed posthumously.
