Folk Traditions: Dvorak and Bartok

Folk music: the music of the people, of the land, of a place—this was the driving inspiration and a constant refrain in the music of both Dvorak and Bartok. While both composers wield a sophisticated compositional palette, Bohemian and Hungarian dances, along with other folk elements, keep this music formly grounded. Dvorak’s expansive Piano Quintet traverses a vast emotional range, while Bartok’s musical language—spicy, zestful, wild, authentic—is on full display in Contrasts.

Artists: Wu Han, piano; Erin Keefe, Arnaud Sussmann, violins; Beth Guterman, viola; Fred Sherry, cello; Jose Franch-Ballester, clarinet
