Bartók

"This recording pairs two of Béla Bartók’s most challenging and ingenious works. In the String Quartet No. 3 (which Assistant Principal Viola Stanley Konopka arranged for string orchestra) and Suite from The Miraculous Mandarin, Bartók creates a new musical path forward by masterly combining influences from folk tunes and elements of the avant-garde to create works of lasting power."
— Franz Welser-Möst

This new release from The Cleveland Orchestra and Franz Welser-Möst was recorded live at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Concert Hall at Severance Music Center in January 2024.
