Concerto for Orchestra / Dance Suite

Album by Béla Bartók & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti

Concerto for Orchestra / Dance Suite is an album by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók pairing two orchestral works composed in 1943 and 1923. Musically it juxtaposes Bartók's later expansive, colouristic orchestral writing and rhythmic complexity with his earlier use of folk-derived material and neoclassical forms, illustrating key stages in his compositional evolution.
First released: 1982
