Concertos for Orchestra

Album by Béla Bartók & Zoltán Kodály & Rundfunk‐Sinfonieorchester Berlin & Jakub Hrůša

Concerto for Orchestra is an orchestral composition by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, completed in 1943 and premiered in 1944. The work represents a late-period orchestral statement that synthesises Bartók's interest in folk-derived rhythms, modernist harmonic language and vivid instrumental colour, highlighting sectional virtuosity and securing its place in mid-20th-century orchestral repertoire.
