String Quartets nos. 1, 3 & 5

Album by Béla Bartók & Jerusalem Quartet

String Quartets nos. 1, 3 & 5 is a collection of string quartets by Béla Bartók, composed in 1908, 1927 and 1934. The works chart Bartók's progression from late-Romantic textures to a concise modernist idiom, blending folk-derived modes and rhythms with increased dissonance, contrapuntal complexity and structural refinement that had a lasting impact on 20th-century chamber music.
