Bartok / Kodaly Concertos For Orchestra Super-Audio CD

Exuberant, colorful and edgy concertos for orchestra by Bart?k and Kody are brought together in spirited and vivid performances from the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by the podium sensation Jakub Hrua on this PENTATONE release. Bart?k's landmark Concerto for Orchestra is not only a thrilling orchestral tour de force; it's also a striking and deeply expressive work which effortlessly assimilates Hungarian folk melodies and rhythms in it's compelling and polished score. At times brooding and mysterious, it's Bart?k's most popular and uplifting work, and it ends in a flurry of high spirits. With it's lush and vivid orchestration and a healthy rhythmic swagger, Kody's lesser-known Concerto for Orchestra is a captivating and buoyant work. Inspired by the Baroque concerto grosso but updated with a romantic sensibility, the result is a sure-footed, rousing and energetic showpiece for orchestra.
