Bartók’s Piano Concertos

This is the perfect opportunity to discover a terrific trio of works that don't get the spotlight as often as some other pianistic pillars, but are worth every second of discovery: the complete piano concertos by Béla Bartók! From the percussion-heavy Piano Concerto No. 1 to the luminous No. 2 and poignant No. 3 — composed at the end of Bartók's life as a gift to his wife, pianist Ditta Pásztory — dive into these one-of-a-kind scores that put Bartók's singular harmonic language on glorious display, performed by the great András Schiff alongside the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under Simon Rattle!
