Béla Bartók
Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, is recognised as one of Bartók’s greatest masterpieces. It is one of the purest and most perfectly proportioned distillations of his mature style, a summing up of all that he had accomplished. The music embodies many of the contradictions that make Bartók’s art so fascinating: it is simultaneously primitive and sophisticated; wild and controlled; serene and terrifying; serious and slapstick.
