'Highly accomplished accounts of Bartók’s four most approachable orchestral works'
The Bergen Philharmonic and its chief conductor Edward Gardner give highly accomplished accounts of Bartók’s four most approachable orchestral works. Notable in the Concerto for Orchestra is the pianissimo playing, particularly in such moments as the rushing violin passagework at the start of the finale, where many conductors opt for a more upfront sound.
