Live at the Concertgebouw: "...The passionately fired up final movement of Bela Bartok’s Music for strings, percussion and celesta. It was a groundbreaking work composed in the 1930s. Trailblazing, modern, new and yet, in this masterpiece Bartok was in search of his roots. Today Bela Bartok’s Music is the spectacular scenic view ending a fieldtrip where along the way also two contemporary composers are taking us back to their roots : the Scotsman James MacMillan and the Israeli composer Betty Olivero...."
