Piano Concertos
Album by Béla Bartók & Stephen Kovacevich & London Symphony Orchestra & BBC Symphony Orchestra & Sir Colin Davis
Piano Concertos are a set of three piano concertos by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed between 1926 and 1945. The works combine modernist harmonies, folk-derived rhythms and demanding virtuosic piano writing alongside inventive orchestral textures, tracing Bartók's progression from his middle-period folk studies to a more economical late style and forming a significant strand of his output for piano and orchestra.
