Part of the Infernal Dance: Inside the World of Bela Bartók Series.

Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra is probably his most popular piece of music. Written in 1943 and one of his final works, all the hallmarks of Bartók’s music are here: fierce rhythmic energy, vivid extremes of colour, folk themes interwoven with glorious melodies. It is a spectacle in every sense, and one that demands a virtuoso display from the entire orchestra, the musical equivalent of a peacock displaying its plumage. This evening’s concert it is performed alongside Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune and Bártok's Piano Concerto No. 3
