Budapest Festival Orchestra & Alexandre Kantorow / Bartók

A real finger-twister in golden hands ‘Everyone’s a soloist!’, Bartók must have thought when he composed his Concerto for Orchestra. Rarely has an orchestra sounded so clearly like a living organism. Flutes that sparkle, brass that bursts forth heroically, strings that sing and rage, percussion that races forward unstoppably: Bartók truly showcases everything an orchestra is capable of! In his Second Piano Concerto, piano and percussion merge into a colossal rhythmic machine. A concert that you not only hear, but also feel to your core.
