String Quartets 3, 4 & 5

Album by Béla Bartók & Chilingirian Quartet

String Quartets Nos. 3, 4 and 5 are works for string quartet by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, completed in 1927, 1928 and 1934 respectively. They exemplify Bartók's mature modernist style, blending folk-derived modes and rhythms with dissonant harmonies, asymmetric metres and innovative string techniques, and occupy a pivotal place in his output as significant developments in 20th-century chamber music.
