Concerto no. 1 for Violin and Orchestra / Concerto for Orchestra

Album by Béla Bartók & David Fiodorovich Oistrakh

Concerto No. 1 for Violin and Orchestra and Concerto for Orchestra are orchestral compositions by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1908 and 1943 respectively. The earlier violin concerto reflects Bartók's late-Romantic and folk-influenced melodic writing with intimate solo writing and rich harmonic support, while the later Concerto for Orchestra displays his mature synthesis of Central European folk elements, modernist harmonies, bold rhythmic drive and vivid orchestral colour, marking an important stage in his later orchestral output.
