Concerto for Orchestra / Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta

Album by Béla Bartók & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Fritz Reiner

Concerto for Orchestra and Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta are orchestral works by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1943 and 1936 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Bartók's mature style, combining folk-derived rhythms and modal harmonies with inventive textures and orchestration, and occupy important places in his output and in 20th-century orchestral repertoire.
