Performance on 3: Bartok and Beyond

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

From the Royal Festival Hall, London. Expanding far beyond its roots in dynamic dance rhythms, an unrivalled wealth of folk tunes and the pungent sonorities of the cimbalom, Hungarian music has played a unique role in the 20th century.

The first of tonight's two live concerts is a recital by Pierre-Laurent Aimard, who explores the path Hungarian piano music has taken since Liszt and the 19th-century legacy. His programme includes music by Bartok, Kurtag and Ligeti.
