Description:

Bartók's masterful trilogy that defined the musical thought of the 20th century. The theme of this album of three orchestral works by Bartók is literally "folk music. All three pieces are important in Bartók's oeuvre, but they are also among the finest in the history of 20th century music. ----The other release commemorating Paavo Järvi's second European tour is a Bartók album. Among the repertoire that Paavo Järvi has covered as principal conductor of the NHK Symphony Orchestra (NHK Symphony Orchestra), along with late Romantic works by Mahler, Bruckner, and R. Strauss, and music from his native Estonian culture, the music of the 20th century has been his greatest focus.Orchestral music, which throughout the 19th century had been running on an expansionary course, aiming for gigantic size and complexity, reached a turning point and eventually branched out in various directions in the 20th century. The NHK Symphony Orchestra is one of the best orchestras in the world in terms of functionality (Järvi's theory is that it is "on par with the world's top orchestras"). (1/2) Sony Music
