Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2
Album by Béla Bartók & György Pauk & Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia w Katowicach & Antoni Wit
Violin Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 are two violin concertos by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1908 and 1938 respectively. The concertos contrast an early lyrical work rooted in late-Romantic and folk material with a later modernist score that is more dissonant and expands the orchestra's role, and they show a clear shift in Bartók's compositional approach between his early and mature periods.
First released: 1999
