Bartok Centenary

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

(1881-1981)
Bartok's Breakthrough
Bela Bartok managed, through a life-long study of folk song, to find his way to a new language of music that was as unique to the musical world as it was personal to him.
David Wilde , pianist and first prizewinner at the Liszt-Bartok Competition in Budapest, illustrates his theme by playing some of Bartok's piano music from the Suite, Op 14, the Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion and the Third Piano Concerto, with Allan Schiller
James Holland and Janos Keszei (percussion) and the London Philharmonic Orchestra leader RODNEY FRIEND conducted by Bryden Thomson
Produced by KENNETH CORDEN
(Bartok chamber music on Radio S. tomorrow at 7.30 pm)
