Bartok in America

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Geoffrey Smith surveys Bartok's sad but sporadically productive final years in the USA between 1940 and 1945. Frustrated by exile from his native Hungary, Bartok was helped and inspired by commissions from
Benny Goodman , Serge Koussevitzky and Yehudi Menuhin.
