Concerto for Orchestra

Album by Béla Bartók & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Erich Leinsdorf

Concerto for Orchestra is an orchestral work by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1943. The piece blends modernist harmonic language and folk-influenced melodic material with virtuosic, colouristic orchestration that distributes soloistic passages across the ensemble, and it stands as a central late-period work that synthesises Bartók's interest in folk sources with his orchestral technique.
