Contrasts / Out of Doors / Sonata for Solo Violin

Album by Béla Bartók & Stanley Drucker & Robert Mann & Leonid Hambro

This release is a collection of works by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed between 1926 and 1944. The music showcases Bartók's mature modernist language, combining Eastern European folk-derived motifs, percussive and dissonant piano writing, jazzy chamber textures and virtuosic solo violin writing, and it reflects his late-career interest in integrating folk sources with contemporary compositional techniques.
