New Bartók Recordings by Harnoncourt and Kocsis

Summary/Abstract: Five years ago László Somfai addressed Nikolaus Harnoncourt with these words: “On his seventieth birthday among the works he is taking on tour with his international orchestra of young musicians is Bartók’s Divertimento; and surely he will have something personal to say to us about this score as well. Perhaps the present writer can be forgiven for saying that after making so many sensational re-discoveries he has high expectations of Harnoncourt’s Bartók.” [...] Béla Bartók: Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (SZ. 106–BB 114), Divertimento for String Orchestra (SZ. 113–BB 118).
