Bluebeard's Castle
Album by Béla Bartók & Eliahu Inbal & hr‐Sinfonieorchester
Bluebeard's Castle is a one-act opera by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, premiered in 1918. The work employs a concentrated, psychologically intense score characterised by rich chromaticism, folk-influenced motifs and vivid orchestral colour that bridges late-Romantic and early modernist idioms, and it represents one of Bartók's early mature works that marks his emergence in 20th-century Hungarian music.
First released: 1994
