Concerto for Orchestra

Album by Béla Bartók & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Concerto for Orchestra is an orchestral work by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1943 and premiered in 1944. The work blends neoclassical structures and folk-influenced modal melodies with virtuosic orchestral writing and colourful orchestration, and it is one of Bartók's late-period works that summarises elements of his modernist style.
First released: 1976
