Concerto for Orchestra / Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is a paired recording of two orchestral works by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1943 and 1936 respectively. Both pieces demonstrate Bartók's fusion of folk-derived rhythms and modes with modernist harmonic and textural techniques, showcasing vivid orchestration, percussive effects and formal experimentation that mark important developments in his later orchestral output and 20th-century music history.
