Bartok Divertimento for String Orchestra

It might surprise, or even shock you, to learn that a piece that
crackles with joy and excitement like Bartok's Divertimento was
written in November of 1939. But the circumstances of the
Divertimento are among the most unusual in the history of 20th
century music. Bartok's Divertimento is a perfect amalgam of his
style; a wholehearted embrace of folk music, old forms, and in
the slow movement, a large dose of terror. This is a truly
underrated piece that allows us to explore Bartok from every
angle. Enjoy!
