Concerto for Orchestra

Album by Béla Bartók & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Fritz Reiner

Concerto for Orchestra is an orchestral work by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1943 and premiered in 1944. The piece features virtuosic, colouristic writing that treats orchestral sections as soloistic entities, combining folk-inflected motifs, rhythmic drive and modernist harmonic language to represent a late synthesis in Bartók's output and an important entry in the 20th-century orchestral repertoire.
