Bravo Bartok!
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Tonight we celebrate the 125th anniversary of the birth of Hungarian-born composer, ethnomusicologist, and pianist, Bela Bartok.
Getting things off to an appropriately festive start is the "Six Romanian Folk Dances" with pianist Pavel Gililov and violinist Dmitry Sitkovetsky. The main event of the evening, however, will be our man of the hour's "Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta" with the illustrious Herbert von Karajan leading the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Johann Christoph Pezel, an important precurser of Bartok favorite J.S. Bach, rounds off our evening with a Sonata-Ciacona in B-flat with Reinhardt Goebel at the helm of Musica Antiqua Koln.
