MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Bartok/Kodaly: Concertos For Orchestra

Two Hungarian 20th century masterpieces on one CD!

Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra is one of the most important symphonic works of the last century, and by far his most popular. It includes many opportunities for the various instruments of the orchestra.

The Kodaly Concerto for Orchestra epitomizes his style, basically late-romantic with strong folk music influences.

These are excellent performances from the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by the great Spanish conductor Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos.
