Works by Bach, Bart?k, and Brahms

Over Works by Bach, Bart?k, and Brahms

Iv?n Fischer leads his Budapest Festival Orchestra in an exciting concert program consisting of works by J. S. Bach, B?la Bart?k, and Johannes Brahms. The program opens with Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048. This is followed by one of Bart?k's best-known pieces: Music for strings, percussion and celesta. Remarkable is the work's instrumentation: Bart?k divided the strings into two groups that are placed on opposite sides of the stage, to create antiphonal effects. The program ends with Brahms's Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90. This performance was recorded at the B?la Bart?k National Concert Hall in Budapest, Hungary, on December 4, 2017.
