Bartók - String Quartet No. 4 - Mov. 5/5
BÉLA BARTÓK (1881-1945) String Quartet No. 4 5. Allegro molto Performed by the Vermeer Quartet *The String Quartet No. 4 was written from July to September, 1927 in Budapest. This work, like the String Quartet No. 5, and several other pieces by Bartók, is in a so-called "arch" structure - the first movement is thematically related to the last, and the second to the fourth with the third movement standing alone. Also, the outer four movements feature rhythmic sforzandos that cyclically tie them together in terms of climatic areas. The playing time for the movements are [generally] 5, 2, 5, 2, 5 minutes respectively, a display of the mathematical logic behind this quartet. The quartet employs a similar harmonic language to that of the String Quartet No. 3, and as with that work, it has been suggested that Bartók was influenced in his writing by Alban Berg's Lyric Suite (1926) which he had heard in 1927. The quartet employs a number of extended instrumental techniques; for the whole of the second movement all four instruments are played with mutes, while the entire fourth movement is played pizzicato. In the third movement, Bartók sometimes indicates held notes to be played without vibrato, and in various places he asks for glissandi (sliding from one note to another) and so-called Bartók pizzicati (a pizzicato where the string rebounds against the instrument's fingerboard). The work is dedicated to the Pro Arte Quartet but the first public performance of the work was given <b>...</b>
Béla Bartók - Music for Strings
Béla Bartók (Nagyszentmiklós, Hungría -actualmente Sânnicolau Mare, Rumanía-, 25 de marzo de 1881- Nueva York, 26 de septiembre de 1945) fue un compositor, pianista e investigador de música folclórica de Europa del Este. Bartók fue uno de los fundadores del campo de la etnomusicología, el estudio de la música folclórica y la música de culturas no occidentales.
Béla Bartók: String Quartet No. 5 (1934), I
I. Allegro My personal favorite of Bartók's six string quartets. Like many of his mature works, the quartet is loosely in an arch form, three fast movements with two slow movements in between. It's a masterpiece of formal symmetry and balance in more ways than one. Luminous 1963 recording by the Juilliard String Quartet. Art by Wassily Kandinsky.

Yehudi Menuhin (violin) and Jeremy Menuhin with Thea King, clarinet. Bartók: Contrasts for Clarinet, Violin & Piano, Sz. 111 I. Recruiting Dance. Moderato, ben ritmato II. Relaxation. Lento go here to see the last movement: www.youtube.com Filmed at the ORTF, Paris, 03/12/72 by Eric Tishkoff: What started in August 1938 as a casual conversation between József Szigeti and Benny Goodman very quickly turned into a significant chamber work by one of the world's leading composers, Béla Bartók (1881-1945). Szigeti, a pre-eminent violinist of the time, sent the request to Bartók-although, it was the world-renown jazz clarinetist Goodman who officially commissioned (ie, paid for) the work. In his letter, Szigeti requested a duo for clarinet and violin with piano accompaniment, consisting of two contrasting movements, 6-7 minutes in duration, with cadenzas for both the clarinet and violin. Szigeti was probably expecting a short, flashy show-tune, in which case, he got much more than he bargained for. Janos Karpati writes (Bartok's Chamber Music, Stuyvesant, NY, Pendragon Press, 1976, p. 476) "Despite the commission, Bartók composed not what is known as a concert piece, but a chamber-music work, a worthy cousin of the string quartets and sonatas, which in both its material and structure follows the laws of chamber-music form." Contrasts is a three movement work nearly three times the duration of the original request. The music is an amalgam of abstracted Hungarian folk music <b>...</b>

Bartok, Music for Strings, Percussion & Celesta (Fricsay) II
The Second Part of Bartok's masterpiece, a fierce, fast paced movement, with mechanical rhythms and really original textures and sonorities, based on the idea of the sonata form. Bartok here, as in other works, and in this particular movement, plays with the instruments' character and interchanges their "traditional" qualities. For example in the quasi-development middle section, the strings are used percussively (playing pizzicato and setting the rhythmic context and pace, a role that is traditionally played by percussive instruments) while the percussion, piano, harp and celesta focus in generating melodies and harmonic nuances. Here the RIAS symphony Orchestra under Ferenc Fricsay, who was Bartok's student, deliver an incredible, stunning performance. For me this is the best version ever of this work and it is a shame that Deutche Grammophone could not record it in stereo. Still you can listen to Fricsay's genius approach to Bartok's work and the orchestra's superb level, a combination that, for me, is unsurpassed until today, although admittedly I have not heard every single recording out there, but I plan to since this is one of my favorite works of all time.....

Bartok Music For Strings, Percussion & Celesta (Fricsay) I
The first part of Bartok's masterpiece, a slow, dark piece of music based on the idea of the fugue. It is actually at the same time a tribute to and a radical overturn of traditional (classical and baroque) counterpoint and harmony. Here the RIAS symphony Orchestra under Ferenc Fricsay, who was Bartok's student, deliver an incredible, stunning performance. For me this is the best version ever of this work and it is a shame that Deutche Grammophone could not record it in stereo. Still you can listen to Fricsay's genius approach to Bartok's work and the orchestra's superb level, a combination that, for me, is unsurpassed until today, although admittedly I have not heard every single recording out there, but still I have many.

Béla Bartók Bluebeard's Castle Door 7 Solti Sass Kováts
Béla Bartók: Bluebeard's Castle Door 7 Conducted by: Sir George Solti London Philharmonic Orchestra Judith: Sylvia Sass Bluebeard: Kolos Kováts Directed by: Miklós Szinetár Synopsis: Judith and Bluebeard arrive at his castle, which is all dark. Bluebeard asks Judith if she wants to stay and even offers her an opportunity to leave, but she decides to stay. Judith insists that all the doors be opened, to allow light to enter into the forbidding interior, insisting further that her demands are based on her love for Bluebeard. Bluebeard refuses, saying that they are private places not to be explored by others, and asking Judith to love him but ask no questions. Judith persists, and eventually prevails over his resistance. The first door opens to reveal a torture chamber, stained with blood. Repelled, but then intrigued, Judith pushes on. Behind the second door is a storehouse of weapons, and behind the third a storehouse of riches. Bluebeard urges her on. Behind the fourth door is a secret garden of great beauty; behind the fifth, a window onto Bluebeard's vast kingdom. All is now sunlit, but blood has stained the riches, watered the garden, and grim clouds throw blood-red shadows over Bluebeard's kingdom. Bluebeard pleads with her to stop: the castle is as bright as it can get, and will not get any brighter, but Judith refuses to be stopped after coming this far, and opens the penultimate sixth door, as a shadow passes over the castle.

Béla Bartók - Piano Sonata, III
Piano Sonata, Sz. 80, BB 88, (1926) I. Allegro moderato II. Sostenuto e pesante III. Allegro molto Claude Helffer, piano After three years of relative inactivity as a composer, Béla Bartók returned to writing music with a vengeance in 1926, producing a variety of works in what has come to be known as his "piano year." In June, he sent his family to the country and began working on a series of short piano pieces that evolved into his Piano Sonata and the suite Out of Doors. At the time, Bartók did not know how the individual pieces would eventually coalesce into finished works. His primary concern was nothing less than a radical revision of his piano style. Bartók's expanding concert schedule throughout Europe and America provided further impetus to create new works for his own use as a performer. The Piano Sonata is one manifestation of the composer's retooled keyboard idiom. The sonata's language is direct, polytonal, and frequently very dissonant. Its polyphony is clear, its melodic development essentialized: instead of themes, Bartók develops motivic cells, which he subjects to extension and variation. The material itself is folk-derived, reflecting Bartók's interest in Hungarian and Romanian folk music. The sonata opens in heavy stamping rhythm, jolly enough but a bit fearsome for its dissonances and the occasional tone cluster. The first motif, a dotted hop into a repeated, hammering note, is heard immediately; the second, a brusque three-note ascending figure on a <b>...</b>

Music for Strings, Percussion & Celesta, Sz. 106, BB 114 (1936) I. Andante tranquillo II. Allegro III. Adagio IV. Allegro molto Chicago Symphony Orchestra James Levine Bartók wrote some of his finest music for the Swiss conductor Paul Sacher, in whom he found a particularly sympathetic champion. Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, written for Sacher in 1936, explores with great refinement and mastery the musical concepts that Bartók had been developing since the mid-'20s. In the Piano Concerto No. 1, Bartók explored the percussive elements of the piano, coupling it effectively with percussion only in the introduction to the concerto's slow movement. In Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Bartók ingeniously sets the piano with the percussion instruments, where its melodic and harmonic material functions in support of the two string choirs. Since the early '30s, Bartók had also incorporated elements of Baroque music into his compositions, inspired partly by his exploration of pre-Classical keyboard composers such as Scarlatti, Rameau and Couperin. In reflection of this, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta evokes the Baroque concerto grosso, with its two antiphonal string orchestras separated by a battery of tuned and untuned percussion instruments. The work's prosaic title was actually just a working title which was subsequently allowed to stand. The opening movement, Andante tranquillo, is a slow fugue on a chromatic melody that springs from a five-note <b>...</b>

Bartók: Contrasts for Clarinet, Violin & Piano (Mvt III)
Yehudi Menuhin (violin) and Jeremy Menuhin with Thea King, clarinet. Bartók: Contrasts for Clarinet, Violin & Piano, Sz. 111 III. Fast Dance. Allegro vivace go here to see the first two movements: www.youtube.com Filmed at the ORTF, Paris, 03/12/72 by Eric Tishkoff: The final movement, Sebes (fast dance), is a frenzied dash, whose only detour is an off-balance, but still quick-moving section in the uncommon meter (8 + 5) / 8. The beginning of the final movement calls for the use of a violin with several of its strings tuned differently (scordatura). This yields a courser, rougher sound that suggests the playing of a folk musician. The clarinet part requires the use of both B-flat and A clarinets, which is done to more easily facilitate technical passages in different key signatures. While the first movement is scored for A clarinet, some players prefer to play it on B-flat clarinet. The transposition makes certain technical passages easier to play. However, there are several low Es in the movement, which the B-flat clarinet can't play, thus the transposition is somewhat problematic musically. Performance All three instrumental parts of Contrasts are extremely demanding from the standpoints of technique and ensemble. Compounding the unusual scales and intervals in many of the fast passages are complex rhythms within the individual parts, and almost constant rhythmic counterpoint, or cross-rhythms, between the parts. Thus, the most technically difficult passages also turn <b>...</b>

Béla Bartók - Cantata Profana, I
Cantata profana, for tenor, baritone, double chorus & orchestra (or piano) ("The Enchanted Stags"), Sz. 94, BB 100 (1930) I. There was once an old man (Molto moderato -- Allegro molto) II. But their father grew impatient (Andante) III. There was once an old man (Moderato) John Aler, tenor John Tomlinson, baritone Chicago Symphony Chorus Margaret Hillis Chicago Symphony Orchestra Pierre Boulez Little is known about the evolution of this powerful cantata. Bartók, an inveterate collector, arranger, and borrower of folk music, based this choral work on a Rumanian folk ballad, and translated the text himself into Hungarian. Many forget that the composer was born in a town in Hungary (Nagyszentmiklos) that is now a part of Rumania. What is unusual about this cantata is that it is unique in Bartók's output, like his only opera Bluebeard's Castle. This is not to suggest a kinship between these two masterful works, because stylistically they are quite far apart. Cast in three connected movements, Cantata profana is subtitled "The Nine Enchanted Stags." Its text tells of an old man with nine sons whom he only trained in the hunting of stags (male red deer). They depart without him on a hunting expedition one day and are changed into stags. When their father discovers their fate, he asks them to return home with him, but is told by one son their antlers cannot fit through the doorway and that they must remain in the forest. The first movement, marked Molto moderato, is entitled <b>...</b>
