Featured works: Music for Strings, Percussion & Celesta (1936); Divertimento for strings (1939); Hungarian Sketches for orchestra (1931). Performed by Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra/Zoltan Kocsis. "Like the preponderance of Béla Bartók's works, the three orchestral compositions dating from the 1930s on his recording, too, are deeply rooted in old 'multicultural' Hungary's folk and peasant music. This is nowhere more evident than in Hungarian Sketches (1931), a suite based on piano pieces composed between 1908 and 1911, in which Bartók relies so heavily on folk-music types of form and melody that one has the impression that they are arrangements of authentic dances and songs (which, except for the last movement, does not hold true). The relationship with folk music in Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936) and Divertimento (1939), however, is considerably more abstract; it is perceivable only under the surface and the 'national' stylistic elements meld seamlessly with the composer's own musical idiom. According to Bartók's own classification the three works embody two different types of using folk-music material." Stereo/multichannel hybrid SACD that can be played on any CD player.
